Title: Unforgivable Youth(feat Jason Evigan)[00:00:06]
This world my heart my soul [00:00:25]
Things that I don't know [00:00:28]
The icicles they grow [00:00:32]
They never let me go [00:00:35]
Scars are left as proof [00:00:38]
But tears they soak on through [00:00:41]
Things I've done [00:00:43]
My young [00:00:45]
My unforgivable youth [00:00:47]
We land on the horizon [00:00:48]
The passion in their eyes then [00:00:50]
What they think of islands and much more in their size [00:00:52]
Bountiful and plentiful and resource to provide them [00:00:55]
Supplies slim [00:00:58]
Morale when so heavily inside them [00:00:59]
Now steadily declining [00:01:01]
Return is not an option as necessity denies them [00:01:02]
With this they choose to dive in [00:01:05]
Now along the shore and so aware of their arriving [00:01:07]
Other children of this land prepare to share in their surviving [00:01:09]
A pigeontry of feathers stands his majesty with treasure [00:01:13]
Now the material things that kings that could never last forever [00:01:16]
But secrets of the spirit world[00:01:19]
And how to live in harmony together [00:01:20]
Unbenounced to him his head would be[00:01:22]
The first that they would sever [00:01:24]
And stuck up on a pike up along the beach [00:01:25]
Kept up as a warning to the rest to turn away from their beliefs [00:01:28]
And so began it here And for 500 years [00:01:31]
Torture Terror Fear til they nearly disappear [00:01:34]
This world my heart my soul [00:01:38]
Things that I don't know [00:01:41]
The icicles they grow [00:01:45]
They never let me go [00:01:47]
Scars are left as proof [00:01:50]
But tears they soak on through [00:01:54]
Things I've done [00:01:56]
My young [00:01:58]
My unforgivable youth [00:01:59]
Ways and means from mistreated human beings [00:02:02]
A slave labor force provides wealth to the machine [00:02:04]
And helps the new regime establish and expand [00:02:07]
Using manifest destiny to siphon off the land [00:02:10]
From native caretakers who can barely understand [00:02:13]
"How can land be owned by another man [00:02:16]
Warns one can not steal what was given as a gift [00:02:19]
Is the sky owned by birds and the rivers owned by fish "[00:02:22]
But the lesson when the heated [00:02:26]
For the sake of what's not needed [00:02:27]
You kill but do not eat it [00:02:29]
The excessive and elitists don't repair it when they leave it [00:02:30]
The forests's were cleared the factories were built [00:02:33]
And your mistakes will be repeated[00:02:36]
By your future generation doomed to pay for your mistreatments [00:02:38]
Foolishness and flaws [00:02:41]
Greed and needs and disagreement [00:02:42]
And you rushed to have the most [00:02:44]
From the day you left your boats [00:02:45]
You'll starve but never die [00:02:47]
In a world of hungry ghosts [00:02:48]
This world my heart my soul [00:02:51]
Things that I don't know [00:02:54]
The icicles they grow [00:02:57]
They never let me go [00:03:00]
Scars are left as proof [00:03:04]
But tears they soak on through [00:03:07]
Things I've done [00:03:09]
My young [00:03:11]
My unforgivable youth [00:03:12]
As archaeologists dig in the deserts of the east [00:03:15]
Appeared 100 meters wide and 100 meters deep [00:03:17]
They discover ancient cars on even older streets [00:03:20]
And a city well preserved and most likely at it's peak [00:03:23]
A culture so advanced [00:03:26]
And by condition of the teeth [00:03:28]
They can tell that they was civil [00:03:29]
Not barbaric in the least [00:03:31]
A society at peace [00:03:32]
With liberty and justice for all [00:03:34]
Neatly carved in what seems to be a wall [00:03:36]
They would doubt that there was any starvation at all [00:03:39]
That they pretty much had the poverty problem all solved [00:03:41]
From the sheer amount of paper [00:03:45]
Most likely used for trade [00:03:46]
Everything's so organized [00:03:48]
They had to be well behaved [00:03:49]
Assumed they had clean energy [00:03:51]
But took to no enemies [00:03:52]
Very honest leaders with overwhelming sympathies [00:03:54]
Religions kinda complex [00:03:57]
Kinda hard to figure out [00:03:58]
And this must be the temple [00:04:00]
This White House[00:04:01]
This world my heart my soul [00:04:04]
Things that I don't know [00:04:07]
The icicles they grow [00:04:10]
They never let me go [00:04:13]
Scars are left as proof [00:04:16]
But tears they soak on through [00:04:19]
Things I've done [00:04:22]
My young [00:04:24]
My unforgivable youth [00:04:25]
