Premonition of Water

My eyes
My eyes crack open wide
Tearing me away from the dream again
The one that paints the world in despair
Draped in pale colors of the bitter end
I cannot see, I cannot speak, I am drowning
I dare not make it real
Weeping uncontrollably, visions have a hold of me
Unable to cope with this dreadful feeling
Premonition
Of water
The planet must survive, and it will at any cost
Devastation, an approaching last resort
The tragedy: its common lives that will be lost
The rain will fall like tears of remorse
I scream into the void
And nothing is returned
If everything remains the same
Everyone will burn
Premonition
Of water
Premonition
Of water

Wicked deeds in plain sight
A monument of villainy as might
Feed the children stories when they're young
As they age, they'll hold our guns
We'll declare:
"We're the heroes
Epic is our tale
Supremacy is victory
And heroes never fail"
Never fail
Never fail
Now we hold the cards, spreading fear to
Those that we own
Mold em till they're ours
They'll fight our battles as we
Watch from the throne
We'll make them think they have a choice
But the options: We'll provide
We'll make them think they have a voice
This'll keep them on our side
We'll paint resistance
The color of treason
At every instance
Claim they refuse to reason
Now we hold the cards, spreading fear to
Those that we own
Mold em till they're ours
They'll fight our battles as we
Watch from the throne
You provide the ammo
and we'll provide the cannon
Propagate your M-O, and
Soon they will demand it
Like a massive fire
That starts from faulty wires
We're a gun for hire
To fan the flames up higher
Every worthy Emperor throughout history
Needed a mouthpiece, take it from me
We, your right hand
will delegate your fight plan
Legitimize your might, and
Forever you will rule
Now we hold the cards, spreading fear to
Those that we own
Mold em till they're ours
They'll fight our battles as we
Watch from the throne

- Part 1: "The Emperor" -
"Fetch your things, leave at once
Your Emperor has spoken
And do not fail me
I'll see to it that your life is broken
I've sent a thousand men
To climb the hill and claim my prize
As a man of wealth and power
I demand eternal life"
"The insolence
That this beggar chose to die
I am not a greedy man
I only ask for what is mine"
"Immortality just beyond my fingertips
Becoming clear to Me
I'll hold it tighter
In my grip"
In my grip
- Part 2: "The Mountain" -
The chariot arrives
at the base of the mountain
An intimidating climb
defends the sacred fountain
A foot hole from a foot bone
Of a man sent here to die
And a thousand others just the same
Made for an easy climb
Arriving at the mountain top
As he draws near
The Well, suspended in the fog
Hangs above him in mid air
In arms reach, but to no avail
His prize he cannot grasp
But The Emperor would soon prevail
Standing on the beggar who died last
Climb his shoulders
Break through the fog
Become a God
- Part 3: "The Well" -
The Emperor, in his arrogance
Had just assumed
The life contained in The Well above
Was for a human to consume
The hand he plunged beyond the fog
Had seared to the bone
As if erasing everything
That his greed has known
In agony as he looked up to see
The smog was fading
The acidic fluid began raining

My eyes crack open wide
The Garden rots, My Body dies
A sorrow fills the air -
A black cloud of despair
Why this betrayal
The road to paradise so frail
My colors fading
All living things left in the waiting
Nirvana has been shattered
Should the spark of life elude me
All is black
Ever after
Cleanse the cancer, sacred rain
Save the Earthly Body
Plant the seed
Grow again
The common ones do not deserve
The sacred pain of acid rain
Unity in suffering - they, as I
Feel the boot of petty men
How can I destroy them
Punish them for gentle ways
Our paradise is wilting
This heavy burden weighs
How dare you
Force my hand to destruction
This eruption is genocide
Only you should die
You violate
The paradise of Eternity for commodity
The wind grows uproarious
Howling and furious
Nirvana has been shattered
Should the spark of life elude me
All is black
Ever after
Cleanse the cancer, sacred rain
Save the Earthly Body
Plant the seed
Grow again
My death is the death of reality
When I am gone, nothing else can be
All live entwined in this harmony
I must survive; the rain will fall upon me
Fall upon me
Do what must be done
Do what must be done
Do what must be done
Do what must be done
What must be done
