Fishbone - End The Reign lyrics

In the darknessI have found my vision

I've seen the queen that thrives on desolation

A queendom that preys on both young and old

Open your eyes...

A pain is growing that mocks all the true healers

The light of wisdom is making us all turn cold

Those who dare to dream can hold no quarter

Open your eyes...

Apathy in babylon

Dreams have been deferred so long

Those who dwell in misery

Ne're receive my empathy

'no one cares for anyone

The chorus to her fatal song

This woman spites everyone

This woman is man...

End the reign !!!

I have passionI have faith and reason

Yet she decrees I am less than human

(the darkness hides within the light...)

But it's my soul that satisfies her hunger

(the evil's always in your sight...)

Open your eyes...

When the pretense starts to fall

The 'prefects' make their margin call

Will you join the ranks of sheep

That will not a soul to keep

Their premise is intelligence

Profaned by human arrogance

If you stand against it all...

Make the bastards fall...

End the reign !!!

In the world that you perceive

Who are your true enemies ?

Is it those you do not know...

Or the ones you can't control

Does joy excite every nerve

From the 'mistress' that you serve

Do you have the strength at all

To heed the final call

End the reign !!!
