Saw them gathering everywhere
Looking left and right with blind stare
If they only knew what they're all about
They'd be the first in line to get out
Climbed on a hill where I could see
Them fall down, spinning mercilessly
Did I ever ask for this? I'm a simple man
But they couldn't let me be. I had a simple plan
What mind and steel can do
Like a whip it lashes
The fields I once ran through
Now burnt to ashes
I used to curse the sun and its fucking beams
Always took it for granted. So what it means?
I used to breathe the air. Fresh taste and smell
Until they took it away. Threw me in this cell
Inside the stone walls always closing in
I can't see the light and air's too thin
No more cool breeze, this pit is my lair
One day it will be my tomb. I say, as these walls I stare
What minds and steel can do
Like a whip it lashes
The fields I once ran through
Now burnt to ashes
