See the tower through the trees Give way to smoky memories Worldburners Unite The letters and the laws The meaning and the cause Worldburners Unite And I'm not young I'm closer to death than birth And one thing that I've l learned Is we've got no place here on Earth So I say the cities and the towns We're gonna take 'em down Worldburners Unite What is there to do When everything we doctor When everything we build Is stained by our touch? When everywhere we go Is somewhere visited by somebody? The madness here is circular The madness here is us What is there to do When the groundwater's poison When rabies goes pandemic Overcoming all vaccines? A network tech cuts every cord An artist breaks her easels / A painter shreds her canvas A congressman leaps from a plane And for the first time he is clean You are not a hero You are not a god You are no protagonist Advancing any plot And every grain of knowledge Over every grain of sand Is an anchor is a dragon Breeding watchfulness and rot Somewhere there's a field of ice Somewhere there's a ravine But I'm afraid to show you where For fear you'll crash the scene Fly away, all senses Fly away, our spells 'Cause nobody ever asked for us Least of all ourselves
