100 Generations Lyrics by ThouShaltNot

The White Beyond

0

We ate our young and never blinked an eye
We carved the subway tunnels and prayed to snipers in the sky
We practiced medicine without knowing how to heal
We killed ourselves in dreams a thousand times, always believing it was real
We gave birth silently to jargon, metal, smoke
And mirrors that we kissed until they clouded up and broke
We fed a starving child with an apple's knowing taste
Denying 'till her dying tears the poison with which it had been laced
So father kill your daughter
Mother kill your son
Swallow up the universe
'Till all the killing's done
It happens when you slumber
It happens unaware
Out of every human eye
A hundred generations' stare
If you lose your eyes, you will see
And if you lose your faith, you will believe
If you lose your blood, no more will you bleed
And if you lose all your desires, nevermore will you need
If you lose your light, you will glow
And if you lose your mind, you will know
If you lose your youth, no more will you grow
And if you learn to stand your ground, there'll be nowhere left to go
So father kill your daughter
Mother kill your son
Swallow up the universe
'Till all the killing's done
It happens when you slumber
It happens unaware
Out of every human eye
A hundred generations' stare
Come here to mend
What's come before will come again
