Songbird

Oh no

You won't own me

Snare the songbird; nightingale

They poisoned all the waters

Took the wind right from my sails

And a thousand plagues are coming

And I'll pray for thousands more

Tell me little song bird

Who will sing when we're no more?

Stumbling through the motions

Are we masters?

Are we slaves?

We broke out from the order

Where the weakest were the prey

And we claim that we're so civilized

While we whore ourselves away

For the faceless gods we cater to

For the shameless life we've made

Oh no

You won't own me

Snare the songbird, nightingale

They poisoned all the waters

Took the wind right from my sails

And a thousand plagues are coming

And I'll pray for thousands more

Tell me little song bird

Who will sing when we're no more?

Cast out from our Eden

Washed out in the raid

If captors ruled the oceans

Wouldn't mountains know their names?

And we praise ourselves for pillaging

While we fail to seize the day

Are we deaf to all the dissonance?

Are we blind to our charade?

Oh no

You won't own me

Snare the songbird, nightingale

They poisoned all the waters

Took the wind right from my sails

And a thousand plagues are coming

And I'll pray for thousands more

Tell me little song bird

Tell me little song bird

Tell me little song bird

Who will sing when we're no more?
