Unveiling the Dark Tapestry: Anne Clark's Powerful Reflection on Greed and Exploitation
Lyrics
We shall come
We, as a collective force, will arrive.
With all our wealth
Bringing all our prosperity and lack of refinement.
And our vulgarity
Our presence will carry both riches and coarseness.
Into your land
We will enter your territory.
Carving deep wounds
Inflicting profound injuries as we pass through.
In our wake
Leaving behind lasting harm.
Planting the sharped-edged dreen seed
Planting the sharp-edged seeds of greed.
Of money
Seeds that symbolize the influence of money.
Deep into your hands
Penetrating deeply into your hands.
And as you grasp
As you try to hold onto it.
Gasping
Struggling for breath.
You will thank us
You will express gratitude despite the pain.
As it takes root
As the influence takes root and spreads.
Growing and entangling itself
Growing and entangling itself in your simple lives.
Around your simple naive lives
Enveloping the naive aspects of your existence.
It will placate you
Pacifying you in the process.
We shall come
We will arrive forcefully and swiftly.
Hard and fast
Impacting your underdeveloped and untapped world.
Into your under-developed
Un-exploited little world
Tearing away the ground beneath your feet.
Tearing away the soil
Disturbing the soil where you stand.
Beneath your feet where you stand
Scattering the broken offerings it provides.
Scattering the broken gifts it offers up
All around us.
All around us
Digging the foundations of our own image
Deep into the raw core of the earth.
Into the raw core belly of the earth
Creating towering monuments of our achievements.
Send spiralling monuments
Sending them spiraling into the sky.
To our glorious achievements
Representing our glorious accomplishments.
Into the heavy leaden sky
Rising into the dense, leaden sky.
You will watch from the horizon
You will witness from a distance.
Imprisoned by your own pleasures
Confined by your own pleasures.
Bound by the material chains
Restricted by materialistic chains.
We will supply
We will provide.
And when we have turned
Turning one side of the world into darkness.
One side oft he world's face
From the sun into the blackness
While the other side burns under our greed.
The other will then burn
Under the slap of our greed.
