Imaginary Lines |
Heaven help the soul that’s severed |
From the place where it belongs |
Caught up in the mindless struggle |
Of the weak against the strong |
Headlights along the border |
Keep the peace, their law and order |
Why can’t we see it’s all a record of lies |
It’s their kind of strength |
It’s their only defense |
An imaginary line |
Just a kid and his younger brother |
Headed for the wire |
Had no rights in the telescopic sights |
Of the vigilante’s rifle fire |
And now he’s buried on the border |
Where the rivers are blood not water |
Why can’t we see it’s all a record of lies |
(Why can’t we see) |
It’s their kind of truth |
It can only be proved |
With imaginary lines |
In times like these concerning |
Who decides which bridge is burning |
Don’t fall for-map reading |
Just make sure that you’re still breathing |
After the lines were drawn, the children would |
Dream of the pearls and how beautiful they were |
Year after year they would dive to the bottom of |
The lagoon hoping that the oysters would come |
Back. |
They risked everything-their homes, families |
And meager possessions-to search for the pearls |
To make sure they were heavy enough to reach the |
Bottom, the children tied stones to their backs |
Many of them died, streams of blood and broken |
Bodies rose to the surface of the lagoon… and |
The lagoon cried |
Why can’t we see it’s all a record of lies |
(Why can’t we see) |
It’s their kind of strength |
Their only defense |
An imaginary line |
Why can’t we see it’s all a record of lies |
(Why can’t we see) |
It’s their kind of truth |
It can only be proved |
With imaginary lines |
