You, who build no bridges for the broken,
You, who wipe no tears, nor offer solace,
You, now a stone, a heart unsoftened,
How would you know the depths of our disgrace?
The world, blind, trails behind you, you, the blindest,
Oh, the world, blind, follows you, the blindest of all.
A stone, you are, how could you know, how could you feel?
At your door, the endless, hollow commerce does fall.
The world, blind, trails behind you, you, the blindest,
A stone, you are, how could you know, how could you feel?
At your door, the endless, hollow commerce does fall.
On every road, the hungry, starving, beg for bread,
While at your door, the rich pour forth their sugary thread.
Oh, on every road, the hungry, starving, beg for bread,
While at your door, the rich pour forth their sugary thread.
The caged bird dreams of flight, how can it take wing?
A stone, you are, how could you know, how could you feel?
At your door, the endless, hollow commerce does fall.
Those who blindfold eyes, they hold the reins, it seems,
Oh, those who blindfold eyes, they hold the reins it seems,
Between sharp thorns, the innocent are crushed in dreams.
Crushed, the innocent, in this world's bazaar,
Where death is sold, and the soul is undone.
A stone, you are, how could you know, how could you feel?
At your door, the endless, hollow commerce does fall.
One face hides many faces, masks worn by all,
No one walks straight, only webs where shadows fall.
One face hides many faces, masks worn by all,
No one walks straight, only webs where shadows fall.
But the blows will fall, the unseen hand will strike,
A stone, you are, how could you know, how could you feel?
At your door, the endless, hollow commerce does fall.
