Lyrics
Little chisels chip away
Gradual, small actions shape and change
The laws of man enthroned
Human-made laws established
Should've said don't be a dick
Should have advised against being unkind
And written it in stone
Should have made kindness a fundamental rule
Karma gets you off the wheel
Karma liberates but isolates
But keeps you all alone
Karma separates from others
The mystical has lost its nerve
Spiritual elements lost courage
It serves the god of bones
Serves death, decay, or mortality
Electrical confusion
Confusion caused by electricity
illusions of control
False beliefs of control
The fire burns in all of us
Passion exists but doesn't provide warmth
But wont keep out the cold
Can't protect from emotional coldness
The young they seek out change
Youth seeks change, challenges tradition
A challenge to the old
Conflict with older generations
As parasites inflame the war
Destructive influences aggravate conflict and enrich corruption
And feed the dragon gold
Corruption feeds on wealth and power
The oceans now polluted
Seas are contaminated
Deluded on the throne
Illusions maintained by those in power
Stupidity colluded
Foolishness collaborated, now established beliefs
Now their thoughts are writ in stone
Current beliefs are firmly established
In stone, written in stone
Ideas firmly set, unchangeable
In stone, written in stone
-Little ripples make the wave
Small actions lead to significant impact
That carries like a moan
An effect that carries weight and sorrow
The current pulls you far away
Life's forces take you far from familiarity
A million miles from home
Far from the place of comfort and belonging
The stars they brink with stolen eyes
Stars shine with stolen brightness
Upon the sorry souls
Unhappy souls under celestial scrutiny
That swim into the depths of space
Explorers in space, morally corrupt
Whose heart is black as coal
Morally dark and corrupt individuals
Electrical vibration
Electricity's influence on perception
Receptive to the whole
Open to the entirety of experience
The flicker of redemption
Glimmer of hope in the chaos
In the static of the cold
Hope in the midst of emotional numbness
The cracks are ever growing
Problems growing rapidly, seeking resolution
Like lightning seeking poles
Seeking solutions but facing obstacles
The path of least resistance
Easy way out leads to downfall
Sees us falling through the holes
Falling into problems due to avoidance
The heart it beats for justice
Desire for fairness and righteousness
A rhythm now a drone
Repeated historical patterns
History repeated
Cycle of actions firmly established
And our course is writ in stone
Our direction is predetermined
In stone, written in stone
Ideas set and unchangeable
In stone, written in stone
-Written in stone
Indicates permanence of established beliefs
In stone, written in stone
Ideas set and unchangeable
