Homo Iratus

Another Daybreak Gone

Homo Iratus


Another daybreak we lost 
Another sunrise gone 
In the violent ring of a clock 
A day we hated from scratch 
Labour speed with no pay 
No "thank you" in the years of slavery 
Days lost, crashlandings 
Of dreams and expectations 

We scratched the rust 
Like we did to our wounds 
To see beneath the time lost 

"Strength once our own" 
We passed our hopes to the next to come. 

Who dared stare up at the light? 
Who defied the god of rotors? 
Who disturbed the movement of the levers? 
Who guides the sheep with no eyes? 

Millions of heartbeats 
Yearn the same dream 
But none listens to another 
None looks at the other 

Eyes afraid of souls afraid of death 

Souls live forever 
But nobody remembers anymore 

Who does remember that the fire will burn? 
That the rain will flood and drown? 
That the sun will shine tomorrow too 
Whether we can see or not?
