Renounce Lyrics by Witheren

Captains of Industry

0

"At another time, the honorable thing, or the right thing to do, might be to a policeman, or to be president. Right now, I think the honorable thing to do is to be criminal."

Another body, washed up on a beach
At a seaside resort
Another person, sleeping on the streets
In front of empty homes
Another voice, carried in the wind
Through the fields alone
Another sunrise... pulls you from your sleep:
Another day to come

Like Cassandra, can you hear the world scream?
Like Cassandra, do you watch — but do nothing?
Under Apollo's curse
Can't change the fate of the world:
Condemned yourself to watch it burn
And wait your turn...

As you chin up and smile at the CCTV
Choke your seething silently?
Or give up? And withdraw from the game;
Join the wanderers and the apostates?
As you punch your card on the way out the door
Turn in your faded cap and worn down uniform
Leaving one last trail of footsteps on the dusty floor:
Never coming back no more

'Cause the gods you worshiped have fallen from the skies
And the treasures you hoarded have lost their value
The leaders you followed have all left you behind
And now your last penny has dropped, so will you...

Will you pray to the heavens? Will you cling to your faith?
Will you turn to the priests or earthly authorities?
Or close your eyes, and sink down to your knees?
Will you cling on, or will you renounce... all you once believed?
