Weltschmerz Songtext
Please let me introduce myself
I′m simply a man of our time
Confused and bewildered
I seem to live without reason or rhyme
Betrayed by a system
I'd given up trying to change
Let me tell you now for nothing
I am back in the game
I′ve gorged on the knowledge
Feasting on the digital feed
I have discerned through my wisdom
That all cannot be believed
I've reached the conclusion
That we have all been deceived
And that our freedoms and democracy
Are not what they seem
Verchmas
Verchmas
Verchmas
I am a grey bearded warrior
A poet of no mean acclaim
My words are my weapons
That I prefer with disdain
My melancholy aspect
Is something you can't disregard
My motives you cannot question
Nor my strong sense of right and wrong
I′ve formed the opinion
That things can′t stay as they are
My anger and my fury
Trapped like a wasp in a jar
It's never too late to make you
Bring you to soar
When the revolution is called
I will play my part
Verchmas
Verchmas
There was a time my moral compass
Was spinning out of control
I retired from the barricades
And dug myself a very deep hole
I came to rule in a country
I once considered a home
That has been lost to the scoundrels
And the rogues and a circus of clowns
The heavens roar thunder
I raise my face to the rain
With my feet in cold ashes
Of all that remains
If we′d listened to the children
And heeded their call
And risen to the challenge
I'd have an early appell
The fight isn′t over
This war still has to be won
On an uneven playing field
The conflicts rage on
Stand up to be counted
Stand up to be heard
Stand up to the barricades
Stand up for your world
Verchmas
The homeless and starving
Verchmas
The bombed and the burnt
Verchmas
The poor and the lonely
Verchmas
The forgotten and spurned
Verchmas
The shadows and the shadows
The smouldering grass
The plumb darts of needles
Fluttering flags
The queues at the food banks
The raging typhoons
The gangs on the corner
The shadows that loom
The feeding of dealers
The voice of fire
The walls in the desert
The rapture is near
I′m simply a man of our time
Confused and bewildered
I seem to live without reason or rhyme
Betrayed by a system
I'd given up trying to change
Let me tell you now for nothing
I am back in the game
I′ve gorged on the knowledge
Feasting on the digital feed
I have discerned through my wisdom
That all cannot be believed
I've reached the conclusion
That we have all been deceived
And that our freedoms and democracy
Are not what they seem
