Lyrics

We are the people without land

We are individuals without a homeland

We are the people without tradition

We lack established customs and practices

We are the people

We exist as a distinct group

Who do not know how to die peacefully and at ease

We struggle to face death peacefully


We are the thoughts of sorrows

We embody the thoughts associated with sorrow

Endings of tomorrows

We represent the conclusions of future days

We are the wisps of rulers

We are the remnants of rulers, perhaps faded authority figures

And the jokers of kings

We play the role of both wisps and jesters in the realm of kings


We are the people without right

We lack fundamental entitlements or privileges

We are the people who have known only lies and desperation

We have experienced only falsehoods and despair

We are the people without a country, a voice, or a mirror

We are a people without a nation, a voice, or self-reflection


We are the crystal gaze

We possess a clear and perceptive gaze

Returned through the density and immensity of a berserk nation

Our insights are distorted by the chaos and vastness of a frenzied society

We are the victims of the untold manifesto of the lack of depth

We suffer from the consequences of an unspoken declaration lacking depth

Of full and heavy emptiness

We endure the burden of profound and weighty emptiness


We are the people without sorrow

We have transcended feelings of sorrow

Who have moved beyond national pride and indifference

We have moved past national pride and apathy

To a parody of instinct

We mimic instinct rather than expressing genuine emotions

We are the people who are desperate

We are in a state of desperation

Beyond emotion because it defies thought

Our desperation is so intense that it transcends rational thought


We are the people

We are aware of our own destruction and execute it within legal bounds

Who conceive our destruction and carry it out lawfully

We are like insects, products of another's thoughts

We are the insects of someone else's thought

We are casualties affected by the cycles of day, night, space, and the divine

A casualty of daytime, nighttime, space, and God

We lack specific affiliations with race, nationality, or religion

Without race, nationality, or religion

We are a collective entity, the people

We are the people, and the people, the people

We represent the masses, the common people
