The North Star

The North Star was put in place
To guide us home
Sailing on the seas of mystery
And exploration
Condemnation: for those who do not
Listen, to the words that were said
On the day of the invention
On the day, of the suspension
Of the dead

The dead: whose only violation
Had been to scream for a reason
Why, they cannot survive, or
Dream of a little more bread
They sacrificed everythin
So that we might be fed
By the light of reason
By the source, of what is right
And true; you know what to do
Follow the North Star
It will take you far, but it will not
Take you all the way; that is left
To you, to finish the job

Look into the past
Where everything lasts
And tell me what you see
There is a dream, that
Has not come to pass
Because sacrifices made, depend
On the choices, of you and me

So do your best tonight
To come alive and fight
For the dream that we share
Is worth a harder plot
The soil on which we build
And the toil of our guild
Will not be lost, in the dark
Or else everything, will be lost
And all, will have been for naught

All it takes, is for one
Of us to find the way
To the heart of today, where
The hearth is pumping: a black
And poisoned stew
That shall be replaced
By everything we do
Or continue, to breed lies
That spread throughout
The disguise of indifference
And freedom, to do as we please
Without consequence, for our beliefs
Without consequence, for our actions
That damn us all to this situation
That we find ourselves in now
Where the world is slipping
Away, and the insanity of people
Today, leads us to believe
That nothing can be done
And the way is lost, although
It was with us all along
Conscience is your friend
But my friend, it is so much
More than that
I hope that you'll see, that it
Was essential to our survival
In the end

The North Star was put in place
To guide us home
Sailing on the seas of perfection
And desolation
Exaltation! For those who do not
Listen, to the words
That were said, on the day
Of the suspension; on the day
Of the resurrection, of the dead

The dead: whose only violation
Had been to scream for a reason
Why, they cannot survive, or
Dream of a little more bread
They sacrificed everything
So that we might be fed
By the light of reason
By the source, of what is right
And true; we know what to do
Follow the North Star
It will take us far, but it will not
Take us all the way; that is left
To us, to finish the job

I am a creature of the light
And I cannot stand the sight
Of a world that's forgotten
The sacrifices made-
So that we might be here today
So that we might continue the way
To a sacred place, here on Earth
Where everyone is saved
And no one has to beg
For forgiveness
When they've done nothing
Wrong; except try to sing
For justice to be done

There is another task
That's been set out for you
To accomplish anything at all
You must discover the lives
Of the righteous ones
Who died for being true
To the cause, that was
Set forth before them

Look into the past
Where everything lasts
And tell me what you see
There is a dream that
Has not come to pass
Because sacrifices made, depend
On the choices, of you and me

So do your best tonight
To come alive and fight
For the dream that we share
Is worth a harder plot

The soil on which we build
And the toil of our guild
Will not be lost in the dark
Or else everything, will be lost
And all, will have been for naught
