Banished

Left to ourselves
behind our barricades,
an open wound
preys on our closed minds
We reach for the Self,
outstretched and falling
How can we see
when we are blind?

Banished
Assume control of life,
don't let it pass you by
Responsibility
is yours and you're not banished

When we're without being,
caught in nothingness,
greed goes unwashed
to our strychnine lord
I'll inherit this land
I'll inherit the wind
Will I last?
Lasts the will....

Banished

Assume control of life,
don't let it pass you by
Responsibility
is yours and you're not banished

Fall by the side
or stand away...
We yearn for the free
and we yearn to see
I'll inherit this land
I'll inherit the wind
But I will last
I am strong
