Spice Routes

This life ain't real
Used to think there ain't nothing time can't heal
But
The night too long and the price to high to be pious
Confessions of a nihilist
Nah
True believe at its finest
The promised land got one hell of a climate
Heavy rain but no don't really mind it
I've been going back-and-forth
Between old dreams that I used to cling to
Old anthems that I used to sing to
Old myths I was once convinced
What an honor to watch them all drown in the water
The new wave just hit the land
Sent out a shockwave Across the sands
Created a new spice route for demand
Moving in a way the could never understand
There's a magic in the air tonight

Eyes open I can find my escape
The wind carries on the scent of the spices
And it don't get better than this
Theres nowhere left for them to hide

The crown don't hold the weight it used to hold
Even with the diamonds that they stole
That's blood upon they hands and on their clothes
Tell the lie and change it as they go
The wretched of the earth serve no master
Every slave and every captive
Across the oceans over time
Good god
I see the sickness in your mind
Good god
You thought we wasn't cutting ties
Your god
Surely not the same as mine
I am fine with falling right up out your favour
Biggest lie you told was love thy neighbour
The second one was claiming you a saviour
A scourge unto the earth look what you've made us
Never less
We carry it forth
Born to restore the order
Carry the torch
Far from the northern border
Deep in the forest
Ya I done left to search
For holier ghosts
Now ny

Eyes open I can find my escape
The wind carries on the scent of the spices
And it don't get better than this
Theres nowhere left for them to hide

Chains off chains off
The fam all laced up
Two sides right now for the face off
This ends tonight if the sun don't rise
And heavens fall down like rain drops
Than you best prepare for a change off
The pain is well worth the pay-off
I am not alone in my rage
Not for a moment have you been civilized
I identify with a different kind
Y'all small fries and its dinner time
I am a far cry from my star sign
Now that revolutions incentivized
By Vengeful men
That follow the rhythm of the Pendulum
You'll pay for the crimes of your ill intent
Historical arcs have all got to end
Every empire that we've ever known has fallen
So when I go in I am going all in
The sins of the past will be acknowledged
When it all collapse you'll know what Caused it

Eyes open I can find my escape
The wind carries on the scent of the spices
And it don't get better than this
Theres nowhere left for them to hide
