Who gives you the right to come here and tell me |
|
I have to leave this place my home |
|
To you it's a jungle, to me it's a kingdom |
|
Where (my) people are free there to roam |
|
Born with the stars we are happy and peaceful |
|
'Til now we were left undisturbed |
|
But you rupture the forests our gardens |
|
And fill them with filth from your cities unheard |
|
Savage, who is savage |
|
Leave your morals, stake your claim |
|
Savage, you are savage |
|
Modern man can take the blame |
|
You poisoned my tribe with civilized progress |
|
Baptizing our blood with disease |
|
You christened our bodies with sadness and suffering |
|
Saying then that your god is well-pleased |
|
What have we done to deserve such injustice |
|
Explain to us please if you can |
|
But you can't, no you can't, we can see it in your eyes |
|
Of us both who's the primitive man |
|
Savage, who is savage |
|
Leave your morals, stake your claim |
|
Savage, you are savage |
|
Modern man can take the blame |
|
You poisoned my tribe with civilized progress |
|
Baptizing our blood with disease |
|
You christened our bodies with sadness and suffering |
|
Saying then that your god is well-pleased |
|
What have we done to deserve such injustice |
|
Explain to us please if you can |
|
But you can't, no you can't, we can see it in your eyes |
|
Of us both who's the primitive man |
|
Savage, savage |
|
Savage, savage |
|
Who's the savage |
|
Modern man |
|
Who's the savage |
|
Modern man |
|
Beyond The Realms Of Death |
|
He had enough |
|
He couldn't take anymore |
|
He'd found a place |
|
In his mind and slammed the door |
|
No matter how they tried |
|
They couldn't understand |
|
They washed and dressed him |
|
Fed him by hand |
|
Yeah! I've left the world behind |
|
I'm safe here in my mind |
|
Free to speak with my own kind |
|
This is my life, this is my life |
|
I'll decide not you |
|
Withdrawn he'd sit there |
|
Stare blank into space |
|
No sign of life |
|
Would flicker on his face |
|
Until one day he smiled |
|
It seemed as though with pride |
|
The wind kissed him |
|
Goodbye - and then he died |
|
Yeah! I've left the world behind |
|
I'm safe here in my mind |
|
Free to speak with my own kind |
|
This is my life, this is my life |
|
I'll decide not you |
|
Keep the world with all its sin |
|
It's not fit for livin' in |
|
Yeah! I will start again |
|
It can take forever, and ever, and ever |
|
And ever, but I'll still win. |
|
How many like him, |
|
Are there still |
|
But to us, all |
|
Seem to have lost the will |
|
They lie in thousands |
|
Plagued and lost |
|
Is nothing worth this bitter cost |
|
Yeah! I've left the world behind |
|
I'm safe here in my mind |
|
Free to speak with my own kind |
|
This is my life, this is my life |
|
I'll decide not you |
|
Keep the world with all its sin |
|
It's not fit for livin' in |
|
Beoynd the realms of death. |
