Song Description

Please note that this is only a simple demo with me singing. I wanted to make a statement, though. ;) As you might or might not hear, the song questions how "civilized" we've really become and what happens to you when you realize that there is no God or higher power to save you.

Lyrics

I see fires burning up on the hill
But nobody seems to care
They smile at strangers and shoot at will
They're not going anywhere

And though they've never been here before
They dance like they're bound to die
They worship nature and head for war
Against mankind's evil eye

(Ch.)
And I am a sailor
On life's stormy sea
And I know the terror
Will soon come for me
My heart is a prison
Of pure energy
Your stars are reflected in me

Don't scream for mercy, don't cry in pain
You'll crumble and then you'll fall
They guard their secrets with all they've got
But inside there's nothing at all

And so they lie to lure you inside
'cause mankind's a curious cat
And twinkling stars and blinking lights
Gnaw on your soul like rats

(Rep. ch.)

Still fires are burning up on the hill
And nobody seems to care
They smile at strangers and shoot at will
They're not going anywhere

And though you've never been here before
You dance like you're bound to die
You worship nature and head for war
Against mankind's evil eye

(Rep. ch. *2)
