Rage

from A Profound Respect for Life by Altars

	/

lyrics

When I was younger all I had was a dream
I had my sights set on the top
The forces of truth behind me

As I grew older truth quenched my thirst
But it's taken the dream and now I'm left with a curse

Is this really humanities goal?
Replace the life of our bodies
With the promise of a clean soul

Turning Earth into our enemy
Is just a sorry excuse for not seeing the beauty

I won't stand quietly
No obligations to fill
Finally hear the words I've kept inside me

I stand with humanity
To end the timeless lie
That the earth is your enemy

I'm so angry
With the way that the world has treated such a beautiful story
It's all wrong

Stand with me
Let the monuments fall
And rebuild a new age

Rage
Fills me
Rage fills me now
