Omelas
This peculiar creature
Bound by flesh and sin
Pray that you won't meet your maker
Keep your fear within
Children lost, they wander
Looking for their kin
Turn away from your own brother
Let the devil in
Forsaking those in pain
So fucking insane
This world's up in flames
Why can't we see that we're all to blame?
Your borders are a lie
To keep us all in check
Hear the people cry
"Take your boot from off our fucking neck"
The wheel of time turns faster
Than you would expect
History repeats disaster
And we're the architects
This garden of Eden
We've forced to contort
Into something so uneven
Cut the fucking chord
Can't you see the privelage?
That you can't afford
Can't you see your own indifference
Put them to the sword!
Forsaking those in pain
So fucking insane
This world's up in flames
Why can't we see that we're all to blame?
Your borders are a lie
To keep us all in check
Hear the people cry
"Take your boot from off our fucking neck"
The wheel of time turns faster
Than you would expect
History repeats disaster
And we're the architects
We can't just walk away,
We can't just walk away
From Omelas' dark secret
We can't just walk away,
We can't just walk away
From Omelas' dark secret
One, two, three, Go
Ignorance is no longer an excuse
Bound by flesh and sin
Pray that you won't meet your maker
Keep your fear within
Children lost, they wander
Looking for their kin
Turn away from your own brother
Let the devil in
Forsaking those in pain
So fucking insane
This world's up in flames
Why can't we see that we're all to blame?
Your borders are a lie
To keep us all in check
Hear the people cry
"Take your boot from off our fucking neck"
The wheel of time turns faster
Than you would expect
History repeats disaster
And we're the architects
This garden of Eden
We've forced to contort
Into something so uneven
Cut the fucking chord
Can't you see the privelage?
That you can't afford
Can't you see your own indifference
Put them to the sword!
Forsaking those in pain
So fucking insane
This world's up in flames
Why can't we see that we're all to blame?
Your borders are a lie
To keep us all in check
Hear the people cry
"Take your boot from off our fucking neck"
The wheel of time turns faster
Than you would expect
History repeats disaster
And we're the architects
We can't just walk away,
We can't just walk away
From Omelas' dark secret
We can't just walk away,
We can't just walk away
From Omelas' dark secret
One, two, three, Go
Ignorance is no longer an excuse
