Lyrics

New World
 
As his eyes look up from the ground to the pain to come
He falls to the sound of an angel with a gun
And sweeping through his head fly his fears to the dead
Lying prone to the earth the street lights burn no more
 
What am I today?
Am I a man and should I say to a world that won’t exist
I won’t become a bit by bit
I’ve had enough of this
I won’t accept your Judas kiss
I’ve heard of happiness but brother this ain’t it
 
Welcome to the new world
Welcome to the new world
 
This is not the time to follow the roads that they’ve lined
We can’t just close our eyes and hope to see the other side
Aristocratic fix
We’re not among their politics
If you see democracy you’re just as blind as they’d like you to be
 
Welcome to the new world
Welcome to the new world
 
Are you a little slow to see
Or is it just your luxuries
That twist your reality
Take away responsibility
 
Frightened sheep
Here come the dogs
