Låttexter: Kaddisfly. Five Tears From A Carpenter's Eye For Detail.

What is it like? What's your defense?
One of you says...
Says "look at this glass, it's half empty"
But one of you says...
Says "look at this carafe, it is half full"
Like two nuts in a jar
That are arguing over their origin
But we have insight
To see that they are brothers, born of the same shell
And cast in there by fate alone

Still they bicker like strangers
Fight like old friends
And I would like to tell them...
"Hey! Look at you and him"
Will not the same fate overtake both of you?
From the soil you came, and to the soil you'll return

Blast the folly of humans
If only they could see they could see
Their shell; still they argue like nuts in a...
Ja-a-a-a-a-a-ar...
And look to the lid as they kill, claw, and scream... scream

Madam officer, Lord or whoever,
Are we safe? Can you say?
As they sky shouts back,
"If you want life back segregate your selfish ways"

Because currently you're spelling "our lives"
Without the "R-U-L-E-S" and the "V-O-I"
O-I, O-I, O-I, O-I, O-I...


To find the rules governing our values of investment in each other
Simply grab the words and read...
And I bet you will lose all your need to scream... scream

Madam officer, Lord or whoever,
Are we safe? Can you say?
As they sky shouts back,
"If you want life back segregate your selfish ways"

The sunlight on hillsides, our minds make the matter
As up stairs, we'll climb ethereal ladders
So inscribe, in stone, a statement of surrender
(Bye, bye, bye)
With a quill forged, forged of light

Madam officer, Lord or whoever,
Are we safe? Can you say?
As they sky shouts back,
"If you want life back segregate your selfish ways"

Because currently you're spelling "our lives"
Without the "R-U-L-E-S" and the "V-O-I"
O-I, O-I, O-I, O-I, O-I...
