Round Up

Fear-as i look over my shoulder
The stars above seem home, but this night
I don't think of it to be any closer than up there
Now and then i feel so goddam weak
Standing firm i realize nothing's a shadow anymore
Looking it straight in the eye!

Don't you feel that paralyzing pressure on your brain?
But what we are shouldn't feel like creeping fear
Burned out to be a really open mind
For what they say and tell it forth
You might say "i believe in what i see"
But let me guess-you just see what you believe!
And after closing your eyes you still
Feel the dark shadows hanging recklessly!
Let's all round up under the gods!
Let's all round up under the gods of
Fear and lies and dark tales of hate and
Greed and envious black men!
The fear of losing this or changing anything
Implantated-circulating in your veins!
The fear of expanding your imagination
Implantated-circulating in your veins!
You might say "i believe in what i see"
But let me guess-you just see what you believe!
And after closing your eyes you still
Feel dark shadows hanging recklessly!
Let's all round up under the gods...
