lyrics

Reach, reach out your hand;
Show the world an act that they’ll understand.
Tell us, tell us our goal;
What good is it to gain the world, and forfeit your soul?

Everything you have been teaching,
It all goes against this, senseless
Intensification of cash.

You are a glutton,
So greedy that you prey on the needy;
You squeeze them dry and then you bid them goodbye.

Shine your dimes and your diamonds,
While they aren’t all looking behind them;
Clutch them, and squeeze out their worth.

Rob and ransack the people of earth;
Make them climb, make them work;
Lure them in with your promises.

We all wander through a fog,
Thinking up new gods,
The architect of space,
The one who made this place.

It’s like a big black hole;
It’s taken in my soul,
Like how you stole from me.

Break in, break in, break in, break in…

Steal, all that you can carry;
Keep the operation going.

Hoard, all donations taken,
All the conscripts are forsaken.

Bait, lure in the masses;
Get them while they’re passive.

Switch, when they find it is a lie,
Push them out the door, it’s goodbye.

The road up to life
Is treacherous,
And there are the few
Who find the way, to life.

Reach, reach out your hand;
Show the world an act that they’ll understand.
Tell us, tell us our goal;
What good is it to gain the world, and forfeit your soul?

Lure them in, with your lies that rhyme;
Keep them here, with your ties that bind.

You who put a price tag on salvation,
You are starving out our great nation.

If someone needs your help to find the way,
Jump at the chance; lead them astray.

A shrinking culture, amassing more land,
Behold, the king of the greatest wasteland.

We all wander through a fog,
Thinking up new gods,
The architect of space,
The one who made this place.

Your hand is a black hole,
Outstretched always asking for more;
Take all that you see.
You’ve stolen everything
From me.

Whispers, deep in my head, fight;
They disagree;
They want what was

Taken from me.
Subversive questions
Rolling around in my head.

Reach, reach out your hand;
Show the world an act that they’ll understand.
Tell us, tell us our goal;
What good is it to gain the world, and forfeit your soul?

Somehow I’ll find a way through,
A way to make our breakthrough.

Somehow the moral was lost;
This comes at the greatest of costs.

(Solo: Rasmussen)
