100 Generations |
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 |
