Lyrics Song of Defeat - Still Patient?

Song of Defeat

what you see is not what you get
you just need to find out
that what you see is not the truth
and that is all it is about
a change of view, a questioning
in the convenience of lies
for all the flams you count at day
there is a hope that slowly dies
what you say will not be heard
unless you cry for understanding
you’re free to say what you feel
unless its not too demanding
a bitter pill for an endless dream
of a world that bleeds in pain
and all the flames that light the night
show that we all are made the same
lets run away from the bitter truth of life
— just let me know
from all the things we know into the night
— when I’m free to go
lets get away from this elusive heaven
— just let me know
where the angels draw their swords to call it even
— when I’m free to go
mascara osiris
blood red moon above my hand
I try to walk I crawl instead
of breathing live, breathing air
oh baby I don’t care
now — this is gonna be the last time
now — this is gonna be my last smile
I see white women wearing mascara osiris
I see white women wearing mascara osiris
prayers out of the ebony doors
and visions in black and blue
deep sleep to fall on adam
or in the morning screams come true
now — this is gonna be the last time
now — this is gonna be my last smile
I see white women wearing mascara osiris
I see white women wearing mascara osiris
can you hear the sound?
can you feel the beat?
can you hear them playing
the sweet song of defeat?
what you need is not what you get
your dreams are swallowed by machines
and if you pray for hopes to share
they will get blown to smithereens
the only gods we worship now
are the ones who shine the most
attracted by the light we dive
into the empire of the lost
we are the children of rust
we are a sight for the gods
the pride of creation
we are the children of dust
we are the seekers of lust
a proud but breathless nation
that’s what we are
a proud but breathless nation
