[Hook:]
2
This world, my heart, my soul
3
Things that I don't know
4
The icicles they grow
5
They never let me go
6
Scars are left as proof
7
But tears they soak on through
8
Things I've done
9
My young
10
My unforgivable youth
11
[Verse:]
12
With land on the horizon & passion in their eyes then
13
What they think are islands are much more in their size
14
Bountiful and plentiful and resource to provide them
15
Supplies slim. Morale once so heavily inside them
16
Now steadily declining
17
Return is not an option as necessity denies them
18
With this they choose to dive in
19
Now along the shore and so aware of their arriving
20
Other children of this land prepared to share in their surviving
21
A pageantry of feathers stands his majesty with treasure
22
Not the material things of kings that could never last forever
23
But secrets of the spirit world and how to live in harmony together
24
Unbeknownst to him his head would be the first that they would sever
25
And stuck up on a pike up along the beach
26
Kept up as a warning to the rest to turn away from their beliefs
27
And so began it here. And for 500 years
28
Torture, Terror, Fear til they nearly disappear
29
[Hook:]
30
This world, my heart, my soul
31
Things that I don't know
32
The icicles they grow
33
They never let me go
34
Scars are left as proof
35
But tears they soak on through
36
Things I've done
37
My young
38
My unforgivable youth
39
[Verse 2:]
40
Ways and means from the trade of human beings
41
A slave labor force provides wealth to the machine
42
And helps the new regime establish and expand
43
Using manifest destiny to siphon off the land
44
From native caretakers who can barely understand
45
"How can land be owned by another man. Warns one can not steal what was
46
Given as a gift. Is the sky owned by birds and the rivers owned by fish. "
47
But the lesson went unheeded, for the sake of what's not needed
48
You kill but do not eat it
49
The excessive and elitists don't repair it when they leave it
50
The forests's were cleared, the factories were built
51
And your mistakes will be repeated by your future generation doomed to pay
52
For your mistreatments
53
Foolishness and flaws, greed and needs and disagreement
54
And you rushed to have the most, from the day you left your boats
55
You'll starve but never die. In a world of hungry ghosts
56
[Hook:]
57
This world, my heart, my soul
58
Things that I don't know
59
The icicles they grow
60
They never let me go
61
Scars are left as proof
62
But tears they soak on through
63
Things I've done
64
My young
65
My unforgivable youth
66
[Verse 3:]
67
As archaeologists dig in the deserts of the east
68
Appeared "A pit" 100 meters wide and 100 meters deep
69
They discover ancient cars on even older streets
70
And a city well preserved and most likely at it's peak
71
A culture so advanced, and by condition of the teeth
72
They can tell that they was civil, not barbaric in the least
73
A society at peace. With liberty and justice for all
74
Neatly carved in what seems to be a wall
75
They would doubt that there was any starvation at all
76
That they pretty much had the poverty problem all solved
77
From the sheer amount of paper, most likely used for trade
78
Everything's so organized. They had to be well behaved
79
Assumed they had clean energy, but little to no enemies
80
Very honest leaders with overwhelming sympathies
81
Religions kinda complex. Kinda hard to figure out
82
And this must be the temple
83
This White. House
84
[Hook:]
85
This world, my heart, my soul
86
Things that I don't know
87
The icicles they grow
88
They never let me go
89
Scars are left as proof
90
But tears they soak on through
91
Things I've done
92
My young
93
My unforgivable youth
