Towers so Tall
04:57
|

Down on their knees, bled dry and broken
Disparity of wealth, inferiority unspoken
Skyboxes rise, high and foreboding
Classes divided, society eroding
Dignity defiled and kindness torn
From tainted child a tyrant born
As charity's bribed with cash incentives
Soldiers of fortune, their strikes are pre-emptive
We're outsourcing wars under the table
Bomb shelters built for the wealthy and able
Dignity defiled and kindness torn
From tainted child a tyrant born
I declare to the vain in your towers so tall
If divided we stand, then united we'll fall
In the day, when it rained, it fell down on us all
We call upon you to tear down this wall
In the race for the wealth that so proudly you hail
Take the fast lane to where commonality fails
Before it's too late we must all tip the scales
A market society puts our souls up for sale

Satellite
03:53

Gravitating aimlessly towards growing animosity
Going from a stand-still to terminal velocity
Static on our transmissions relayed across the great divide
Breaching hull integrity, our connections have come untied
Propelling you and me out of synchronicity
Park our broken satellite
Into graveyard orbit, in graveyard orbit
Park our broken satellite, tonight
Into graveyard orbit, in graveyard orbit
Frail fractured vessel I discard, it's time that it retired
Our craft took to the skies, but our rockets have misfired
Now left in disregard to space's lifeless choir
We expire
Pushed out to the sun in another space-time continuum
Ensuring your tantrums are smothered in a vacuum
If you linger here, your frozen tears would collide
Away from my periphery your fragments I cast aside
Keeping the debris out of my trajectory
We have expired
