Hostage

A hostage is a person who is held by one of two belligerent parties to the other or seized as security for the carrying out of an agreement, or as a preventive measure against war.In contemporary usage, it means someone who is seized by a criminal abductor in order to compel another party such as a relative, employer, law enforcement, or government to act, or refrain from acting, in a particular way, often under threat of serious physical harm to the hostage(s) after expiration of an ultimatum. A person who seizes one or more hostages is known as a hostage-taker; if the hostages are present voluntarily, then the receiver is known as a host. more »

All the fear instilled in me
Cannot change the way I see
Your life in the wake of a passing ship
Cannot change the fear in me

Have you seen the blinded beauty
Has she lost her illustrious shine
Can you see the scars of envy
Do you think she's lost the fight

Modern man, can you see the day
When mother nature holds your destiny
Black sky's calling, can you hear it sing
Wounded children are lying at your feet

Calmly she fades deep into shade
Fall to the east far away
Calmly she fades deep into shade
Fall to the east far away

Ever growing miles of wasteland
Never ending breath of need
Ever rising waves of badlands 
Never turn your back on me

Have you seen the blinded beauty
Has she lost her illustrious shine
Can you see the scars of envy
Do you think she's lost the fight

Modern man, can you see the day
When mother nature holds your destiny
Black sky's calling, can you hear it sing
Wounded children are lying at your feet

Modern man, can you see the day
When mother nature holds your destiny
Black sky's calling, can you hear it sing
Wounded children are lying at your feet

So, you think this is the day
The day in which you've won the race
Have all your wicked ways 
Been overlooked
Prey to the wolves 
Of the corporate world

Calmly she fades deep into shade
Fall to the east far away
