Being As An Ocean - The World As A Stage lyrics
rate meThe nights ablaze with blue and red, blurs glidin' silent
As the first arrived on the scene, illuminatin' so vividly
The darkness of man, obscene!
The blood on his shirt stainin' darker than that of the flashin' red
Wavin' above his head a crimson branded beam
An abused luva in the grass on her knees
Pleadin', cowerin', tremblin'
Observe the theatrics, witness the play of man
Anger, violence, and jealousy are set to destroy all that we have
We've turned our shame into rage
Can't ya see it's we who've set the stage?
Usin' a spade, meant to plow and sow, as a blade
Sharpened, held to our brutha's throat
A child peeks her head out into the dark hallway
The soft white of the nightlight shines somewhere behind
She stepped out and began to pray, angelic made, the earthly babe
The audible violence continues in the kitchen
'Let no bad happen, let no bad happen'
Observe the theatrics, witness the play of man
We've turned our shame into rage
It's we who've set the stage
