Available on FUTURIST - 9086-11028 The Lethargic Age A thousand souls are waiting, for a day that never comes A thousand eyes still closed, cause they're afraid to see the world Two thousand hands are bound, with golden chains they bought themselves Two thousand legs can't walk, cause they never learned to move. Got it! A thousand hearts are bleeding, despite the nails of "unknown pain" A thousand heads are bowed, pray for mercy, pray for gold Two thousand feet are stumbling, on the roads that lead nowhere Two thousand ears are deaf, from the noise of luxury. Don't you know you keep the nature Chained in dungeons black as coal Don't you know you adore An eagle with broken wings Roses that never bloom Wheels that never spin Bells that never ring Hands too far to reach [guitar solo] Internal Conflict I will crush my skull, when I feel like doing it I will break my bones, when I feel like doing it I will cut my veins, when I feel like doing it I will shred my skin, when I feel like doing it Yeah!

Don't wanna know the master plan Don't wanna know the hours spent Don't wanna know who wins the war Don't wanna know whatever no more Don't wanna see the sun today Don't wanna see the masses pray Don't wanna see the children play Just wanna see: Why do I hate you? x 2 HATE! x 4 Why do I hate you? Don't wanna hear no tragedy Don't wanna hear the things you see Don't wanna hear no wedding "bells" Don't wanna hear no "dying dance" Don't wanna feel a warming breeze Don't wanna feel you touching me Don't wanna feel like I'm on trial I wanna feel I know: Why do I hate you? x 2 HATE! x 4 Why do I hate you?
