From the recording The World And All Within
Lyrics
TO CONQUER
The hawk is spinning in the widening spiral
Those who care have gone insane. All else are idle.
The rivers rise and roar by with a fury
They’ve washed the bridges all away. Divide will rule.
But we can’t save them from themselves
We can’t save them from themselves,
And it’s not our world to conquer
Smug, to believe there is wisdom in our anger
Like a man mad in a dream waiting for his revelation.
Time and space have slowly split asunder,
Now armies in that bleeding wound would come to tear and trample.
But they can’t save us from ourselves
No they can’t save us from ourselves
It’s not their world to conquer
Watch for the older roads for no one rides upon them
Save those who strive to cast you out and down
Watch for the rising tide and put aside all doubting
There’s darkness coming sure enough, and now
The hawk climbs blindly to its blue oblivion
All who are brave have gone insane. The rest are cowards.
The void is swiftly shredding all within
Now armies in that bleeding wound would come to tear and trample
But we can’t save us from ourselves
No we can’t save us from ourselves
And its not our world to conquer.
Save us from ourselves.
We can’t save us from ourselves
And its not our world to conquer.
