Down among the rocks in a crater
Dug by a million years of a raging fire
Thrust into the earth
We buried all we could see
From the light of the day
All around me, voices in the grotto
Breathing in the burning gases
I feel the flashing of a million eyes
Looking out from within the earth
To behold my form
I try not to look down
As my body descends
Into the tunnel
A tunnel where metal is rain
And where rocks are vapor
My paper bursts into flame
Then to ash, and it's gone
Down into the tunnel
A tunnel where metal is rain
And where rocks are vapor
High above me, covering the surface
Shadows are following the motion of the sun
People no longer believe in the legends
The stories that drove countless conquerors on
All around me, voices in the grotto
Whispering in tongues forgotten
Of people who fought, and who lost everything
To the tide of invaders whose thirst could not be satisfied
A whisper of a shadow
A shadow of a dream
A dream of justice
A justice that cannot be granted
That cannot be
A whisper of a shadow
A shadow of a dream
A dream of justice
A justice that cannot be granted
That cannot be
There are rivers of gold
That dwarf their wildest dreams
That drove men to burn worlds in their greed
Legends that to this day remain in the ground
May they never be found

I broke last night
From the chain-link fence
Tripping over cinder-blocks
And holes hidden in the dense fog
Making my way through discarded diapers
Dodging any bullets that come from the camouflage snipers
Clinging to the map that I got trading apocryphal stories
I'm running fast now
Fast as a machines
I try to follow my directions beyond the blurry screen
But the map's all wrong
Horribly, completely wrong
Woven incompletely like the words of a dream
There should be fields here but I see nothing but trees
There should be deserts there yeah well I see only seas
I can't find my way, though there must be some
The facts are deceptions, very difficult to overcome
We've lost our sense of direction
We might never find our way out of here
We'll move against the grain
Endlessly into the stratosphere
So I take my confusion to the top of the mountain
I take my confusion to the top of the mountain
