lyrics

one button push from a mass explosion
a nuclear reactor with a cracked avulsion
a nucleaus of factors where the tracks are pulsin
back packs full of smack all wrapped in lotion
a mouth full of words that attract commotion
a house full of herds but they lack devotion
impact emotions, distracted motions,
misguided media infection, so I jacked the potion
created the antidote, the notion,
for anti hope errosion,
anti focused spokens hope isn't given, hope is chosen
I breathe fire on the rope so the rope isn't frozen
string it around and around till it chokes from both ends
and stand both feet planted where the slippery slope ends
deboxin options while im grippin the hope pen
breathe toxins often bile drippin from broken
veins like water manes, all correded from the sea salt
willing to die in vain devoted to the people
they heard the explosion now their loaded in the steeple
crosses drawn on their forehead coated them with evil
took my pen out and wrote it in the tree folds
stuck it in my back pocket and beholded through the people
the arrival of the bible and the hope enslaved them
survival was in denial, so I quote the raven

he was suppossed to save them

but when asked he said quote the raven


the black cloud arrived, cracked loud and fried
the church bells till the smacked down inside
broke the chains suspending the fallen savior
the priest opened the floor boards intending to crawl in later
he spoke empassioned defending the gods behavior
and in fashion to his actions he pretended to call his maker
holy father who art in heaven,
you rewards those with faith from the fate of our darkest brethren
we hear you, you've marked your presence
we do not deserve to bathe in flames for we've embarked in essence
on the path that was hand scribed than transcribed and altered
many are just vultures, but we have never faltered
we have crossed many boundries, embraced many cultures
we have lost many foundries, but placed many sculptures
many have tasted the tip of the sword,
only to rise thru the skies to the hip of the lord,
enlightened eyes electrified by the grip of the cord
we drank your blood from the lip of the poured, cup
felt a rush through our veins of your omnipotent force
up
riding through the clouds on a magnificent horse
but this is where the vision contorts,
among the followers was a division of sorts,
a man arose from his knees and stood up on the church pew
and despite all of the noise his voice seemed to blurt thru
if there indeed is a god, I find it odd heard you
and was influenced to review our incumbent curfew
the priest tried to retort, but his throat just caved in
a spirit flew in screamin quote the raven
they hoped forever for the ghost to save them
but it spoke never more, quote the raven
