Anacrusis

Imprisoned

Anacrusis


A hell is upon us now this day 
Silence whispering unspoken rage 
To lend a hand but not in force 
To speak our minds in free discourse 

Keep closed our eyes 
Blind us from the fools unseen 
Keep closed our hearts 
Drain emotion to plant the seed 
Keep closed our minds 
Turn innocence to ignorance 
Keep closed the mouths 
Mute the verbal dissonance...Always 

Use not, o'youth, the spoken word 
Here to be seen and not to be heard 
Thinking red-handed we are caught 
Arrest the growth of human thought 

Keep closed our eyes 
Blind us from the fools unseen 
Keep closed our hearts 
Drain emotion to plant the seed 
Keep closed our minds 
Turn innocence to ignorance 
Keep closed the mouths 
Mute the verbal dissonance...Always 

A hell is upon us now this day 
Silence whispering unspoken rage 
How can we grow with bars about? 
Imprisoned in a cell of doubt 

Keep closed our eyes 
Blind us from the fools unseen 
Keep closed our hearts 
Drain emotion to plant the seed 
Keep closed our minds 
Turn innocence to ignorance 
Keep closed the mouths 
Mute the verbal dissonance...Always 

How can we grow with bars about? 
Imprisoned in a cell of doubt 

Keep closed our eyes 
Blind us from the fools unseen 
Keep closed our hearts 
Drain emotion to plant the seed 
Keep closed our minds 
Turn innocence to ignorance 
Keep closed the mouths 
Mute the verbal dissonance...Always 

...Always 
...Always
