Man Myth Legend

Chained to Plato's Cavern Chained to shadows of tradition And black silhouettes that line the ceiling of the ocean More souls are sinking every year Oh something must be wrong up there Do or die, it's time we find The truth or lies, behind the man myth legend Grab your shield and trident Get your sea horse armed for war Let your fins all fly, and ride with the nautical sea lords They say these men are more like beasts Eat you with their war machines But if there's a chance of peace We have no choice, leave our world of safety When I look at Heaven I see silhouettes in black Tradition tries to demonize what we don't understand We need to see them through the love that covers all our skins Until we're dining in their homes, these men will be as good as myths and legends They say the issue's black and white But aren't we all just different shades of gray If it makes us black and blue, then we're heading the wrong way But we could bring in an age of peace Joining both our worlds into one We could be the heroes that make a new end to the legend When I look at Heaven I see silhouettes in black Tradition tries to demonize what we don't understand We need to see them through the love that covers all our skins Until we're dining in their homes, these men will be as good as myths and legends
