This world my heart my soul
Things that I don&#39;t know

The icicles they grow
They never let me go

The scars are left as proof
The tears they soak on through
Things I&#39;ve done

My young
My unforgivable youth

Bountiful and pIentiful
And resource to provide them

Supplies slim
Morale went so heavily inside them

Now steadily declinin&#39;
Return is not an option

As necessity denies them
With this they choose to dive in

Now along the shore
And so aware oftheir arrivin&#39;

Other children of this land
Prepare to share in their survivin&#39;

A pageantry of feathers
Stands his majesty with treasure
Not the material things that kings
That could never last forever but

Secrets of the spirit world
And how to live in harmony together
Unbenounced to him

His head would be the first
That they would sever

And stuck up on a pike
Along the beach

Kept as a warning to the rest
To turn away from their beliefs

And so began it here
And for fwe hundred years

Torture terror fear
&#39;Til they nearly disappear

This world my heart my soul
Things that I don&#39;t know

The icicles they grow
They never let me go

The scars are left as proof
The tears they soak on through
Things I&#39;ve done

My young
My unforgivable youth

Ways and means
From the traded human beings

A slave labor force
Provides wealth to the machine

And helps the new regime
Establish and expand

Using manifest destiny
To siphon offthe land

From native caretakers
Who can barely understand

How can land be owned
By another man

Warns one can not steal
What was given as a gift

Is the sky owned by birds
And the rivers owned by fish

But the lesson when not heeded
For the sake of what&#39;s not needed
You kill but do not eat it
The excessive and elitists
Don&#39;t repair it when they leave it

The forests were cleared
The factories were built

And all mistakes will be repeated
By your future generations

And then you rushed
To have the most
From the day you left your boats

You&#39;ll starve but never die
In a world of hungry ghosts

This world my heart my soul
Things that I don&#39;t know

The icicles they grow
They never let me go

The scars are left as proof
The tears they soak on through
Things I&#39;ve done

My young
My unforgivable youth

As archaeologists dig
In the deserts ofthe east

Appeared a hundred meters wide
And a hundred meters deep

They discover ancient cars
0n even older streets

And a city well preserved
And most likely at it&#39;s peak

A society at peace
With liberty and justice for all

Neatly carved
In what seems to be a wall

From the sheer amount of paper
Most likely used for trade

Everything&#39;s so organized
They had to be well behaved

Assume they had clean energy
Looked into no enemies

Very honest leaders with
Overwhelming sympathies

Religions kinda complex
Kinda hard to figure out

This must be their temple
This White House

This world my heart my soul
Things that I don&#39;t know

The icicles they grow
They never let me go

The scars are left as proof
The tears they soak on through

Things I&#39;ve done
My young
My unforgivable youth
