Cut Into The Earth

Is this life, to stand here and wait? In this city forged of scraps, is this life? To stand on the dead, on feces and sweat Is this life? It's all starting again Quick, gather your belongings and go Run while it's still dark Out here you're as good as dead Leave the shots echoing behind Don't look back until you run out of land When you think there's a second that you can't be seen The current can decide how this night will end Don't try to imagine what's ahead Let nothing cripple your will You will cross enormous distance only to arrive With nothing, you will give all you have And if you navigate your way with endurance and success If you pass the obstacles and still have your life If you've escaped death, if your guts haven't withered away If you haven't broken under the strain They won't be welcoming They forget a time when their land was swelling A monstrous movement across the sea When she relieved her bowels all over the world Don't try to imagine what's ahead Let nothing cripple your will Just follow the paths that they cut into the earth Right back to their door
