Below Ground - Among Them

Satisfied lies an idle mind

As they allow all their progress to be confined

Like white plagues they follow each other

Crowded together they seek out the cover

Gravity pulls a shadow of darkness down

Over the masses and all self belief is drowned

In the water stagnant as it stands

Whispering the thoughts of the common man

Echoes of yesterday ring out through these unchanging plains

I need a sign i am losing faith, but the sheep won’t understand my pain

Fingers claw upon their minds so fragile

Don’t succumb to the failure of mankind

Don’t walk the earth in vain, leave your trace behind

Can you see it in their eyes?

The look is reflected, but they don’t realise

Can you see it in their smile?

It’s like they’ve got something to hide

Somewhere down deep inside, behind the lies

Sits the person that was before

Can you see it in your own mind?

The grasp of ignorance

Gather be seated this won’t be repeated

With sadness you’re greeted, as we’ve been defeated

Under the covers, of darkness they slumber

Wearing the virtues of a thousand before them

Don’t take what they give you, you’ll be invited, but so is everyone

They can see it in your eyes, there’s something more to you

Depleted in despair we stand here, to our eyes it’s clear

This fear controls them
