Storytime

(Andre)

Woken up that day
Took my hearing, took my home
An enigma, never made no sense at all

Only moments passed
Suddenly just blood and bones
Traces in the sand said „You’re alive, so go!“

Marching endlessly besides
A million other ruined lives
All the graves we dug, they made us realise

All our promises entwined
With the ones we left behind
Drive us through all loss, through struggle we’ll arrive

At those places from the stories we were told
Life’s lottery blessed them with gold
Where peace is all they know

Hellhounds waiting for their bones
Wit empty eyes longing for gold
Offering help while blood is dripping from their jaws

„Pricing’s easy, all you own
Take a chance or die alone“
Goes their chant while loading cattle on their boats

Defying wind and rain we struggle through once more
Through crusted eyes we see the shore

Leave me be and say no more
My life won’t be perturbed by yours, your
Huddled masses won’t break free
Stay away from me

Sinking to the ocean floor
Not one of them will reach our shores, we’ll
Let them all drown from afar
Like the brave souls that we are

We’re all just pieces caught in games between these loons
Fat monkeys play for power and rule

Leave me be and say no more
My life won’t be perturbed by yours, your
Huddled masses won’t break free
Stay away from me

Sinking to the ocean floor
Not one of them will reach our shores, we’ll
Let them all drown from afar
Like the brave souls that we are
