lyrics

It seems I must address this fundamental problem, the one that I let slip right through the cracks
I must confess I’ve neglected this garden, the very one I swore to protect

Now the job of the serpent it really isn’t certain, as you see the whole world while lying down
Blades of the plant life spike up towards the ceiling, supported by the rhythms underground

Provoked by voltic rays of sunbeam and soaked by the sweating atmosphere
Cellular structure manifests in wonder, blinks into existence and disappears

It’s contained in the waves of stereo magic, explained in the books of men
I’m afraid of the reign of impending madness and facets of loneliness

Shapeless form crawling across the floor, soaking it all in like a sponge
Conscious expansion, illuminating lanterns, bruises for badges unadorned

Ever-shifting language, rhetoric entangled, sanctioned by ancient wind
Despite the illusion of thought-created dimensions where timelessness ends and begins

Now the job of the eagle appears to be regal, to uphold the iconic symbol of ideal
When freedom is tethered and birds of a feather are forced to feed on whatever they can steal

It’s a shame what remains is contaminated backwash that swirls in the eddies of our brain
And the quality of pain is masked by false comfort, its function has lost its gain

Allow us to laugh at repeating cycles, allow us to cry with the lune
Shower the wrath, deepening the canyons and fill them with rivers of truth

Now the job of the human is constantly blooming, created through Technicolored dreams
So cool is the fool who doesn’t have a clue to what lies beyond what it all seems

It seems now it matters we’re called upon to gather and clean up what is splattered in the blood
And look to the heavens with telescopic visions and extend our ladders of love

Stand up
Stand up
Stand up the ladders of love
