about

*After the Dive into the waters of life, we find the well has been poisened! The Modern Way of Life has profoundly destroyed and altered nature. Likewise we are born into a system where to survive we are told to take part in this destructive system. The last songs promise of finding a job led to disillusionment. The Hero has a purpose, it's time to heal.

lyrics

Water
Water is the source of life
and in the city water
they place fluoride
fluoride is poison
it calcifies your 3rd eye
leaves you spiritually blind
believing the lies
they sing on the news
where they sell you that fear
year after year
shed tear after tear
of holy water offered to angels
with broken halo's
bent over smoking those ciggarettes
they give you fast food
that makes you sick
take away your rights but you don't notice it
a street full of people
on their cell phones
looking at facebook
but they all feel alone
go to school
learn all the rules
come home wondering
what you gonna do
and will their be a place
for your kids to live
no maybe your making
minimum wage
and your college loans
remain unpaid
you don't like to think
you'd rather drink
distracted, numb,
dumb and afraid,
is how the road to fascism's paved
by the time you know
debt enslaved
feel the rage
with a little to lose
chose to behave
just another day
as the climate changes
water level's rising
storm on the horizon
it is getting hotter and hotter
each and every year
and it is getting harder and harder
to find an open space
past the fast food and those big box chains
where they sell you
disposable satisfaction
it is addictive, but not long lasting
you know that plastic, manufactured in china
that makes you feel fine
so ya wanna buy more
more from the store
in a process of consumption that is destroying the planet

so the city is sick
it needs to be healed
the planet is sick
it needs to be healed
and we are sick
we need to heal
it is time to heal.
it is time to heal.
