Lyrics:
Imagine me as I write these bars
Of lyrical content that goes hard
Surrounded by folks that wannabe stars
But can't shake off their emotional scars
Like
still in Aquaman
At times I wish that mermaid
Never got her voice back
That Triton kept her dumbass
Under the sea
Locked up!
Y'all know that Devils got
to sail the seven seals, climb the highest mountain then realise in my heart is where heavens be
I want to shout to the Sky (Oh God) then be humbled by her
prophet
By in darkness be consumed
Hours burn into the night
Lost light Hallowed mind
I'm crystallized bound into a mold
Freedom euthanized
Voice can't
of the One
The one that be layin' you down
On that ancient ground
Nothin' more to be found
Ah yeah
[Chorus:]
Now we walk in the dream
But dream
a [unintelligible, 13 syllables]
I drink and shoot and smoke until the only voice I hear
Is the one telling me those other people, don't let anybody near
No don't
grandfather was lying wounded in the leg. He’d been wounded by one of our own lads who’d mistaken him for a German when Grandfather had come hobbling out
harmonies resounding
To their voice I'm tied
So I stay by the waterside
I'm crying disharmonies
To quench my agony
Life and death, alongside
When I stay by
stare of a dog whose day is done
As he watered the green stuff in his glass and the drops fell one by one
Then I got to figgering who he was and wondering
to tell you
That we is the problem so we gotta solve it
Plus I aint trynna see tears from my mama
Another black man down by the hands of the law
Even worse
on the vine
Add soul to the wine
Pull back the ancient sky
Let the bluebirds fly
I wouldn't go back to you now
That my lover's here by my side and how
The ship
I came from the dream-time
From the dusty red-soil plains
I am the ancient heart
The keeper of the flame
I stood upon the rocky shores
I watched
the light
Flesh, spirit, blood and bone; indoctrinated by the throne
Submit, depraved, erased, unborn; muted voices purge the world
Separating black
Enlightened by the reflections of the moon
As voices of the night calls my name
I enter the halls of blasphemy
Rites of ancient sorcery unknown
Since
an ancient heartache
The heartache
I stand paralyzed by your voice
Given a choice
This clash of wills
We'll struggle until
Falling 50 stories
Every morning
surrounds him
Solace in the silence
The echo of his voice
Endless in the void
Time is all but lost
Trapped in this solitude
Consumed by the guilt
Down into
Riding free in the wild unbroken
Those eternal voices tell us love will set us free
I saw the stallion run along the riverbed
With the eagle overhead
I came from the dream-time
From the dusty red-soil plains
I am the ancient heart
The keeper of the flame
I stood upon the rocky shores
I watched
at the peak, when I was peeping decline
Deception is a weapon, we needed Optimus Prime
We went from using our voices to tell you about the times
To telling you,
what I want don't give a fuck if labels feel me
Ya feel me?
Would have shit figured out by now ideally
Coulda signed a record deal but I'm still moving
Dear John forgive us our sins thank you God
I wanna tell you where you're at
You lose me in this campsite
And I'm gonna teach you how to be cowboys
Now,
must be
Yes, I know there must be a place to go
You saw me, from the cathedral
Well, I'm an ancient heart
Yes, you saw me from the cathedral
your hour,
cnd sing your ancient song of pain
To give me back my voice again.
I see you ragged, broken now,
Each gombeen's profit, Holy Cow,
Who scarred
Am I alone?
Because in the sea of silence
Sink like a stone!
Words as weapons, we fire
With no direction, inspired
By flame!
The same that burns
