Heathen Youth

from Heathen Youth by Field of Spears

lyrics

Smile down upon us with your open seeing eye
We are your children of these lesser days
We have been taught by this world in her beautiful form, Natural and True
Unspoiled and in bloom
Unshod and unbound, free to love the lost have been found
Their names taken and discarded, for their true names must be found

Hail! All brothers and sisters, hail!
We take what this world must give us

Stare at the wrath that we hath lain upon the land of the swine and swain
See how they’re fit and ripe for the culling-the harvest-to be slain
As youth turn from crosses gold and pale we await the day
Of our deliverance from pale steel and hot lead
When its no crime to follow your heart or trust your mind
And tis folly to follow the blind into darkness for fear of eternal fire
So we set alight the fire of life in our hearts in memory of truth, we seek and pledge ourselves to no one but each other, always we walk towards that new dawn.

Hail! All brothers and sisters, hail!
We take what this world must give us

So you think you should live
As if any of us would ever chose thus?
