Shai Hulud - Being Exemplary lyrics

rate me

and this is what shall come to pass.

a new precept for the world to adopt.

and this is what the children shall learn...

prepare for the lowest standard.

rough diamonds in the palms of fools

unable to give the crucial gift of reason.

the unwise teaching wisdom.

the absurd defining priority.

fools, unable to give the crucial gift of reason.

what more can be expected of a child,

being a product of the stark worst -

its fathers blood.

censure rightly;

make no mistake.

the ascendants,

they are veritably criminal.

fare thee well

down the random path of chance.

godspeed.

set sail,

against the wind,

under the misguiding light of faulty beacons.

set sail,

against the wind,

with vices for virtues,

dishonor for ethics,

and excess for etiquette,

as examples -

such sorry examples.

and what of the children...

ignorant of it's weight.

blind to it's worth.

something is terribly amiss

when the beauty and the miracle of new life

is nothing but a burden.

this burden is a life

this burden is a child.

men without dedication

speaking of truth and loyalty.

women without conviction

teaching respect and compassion.

no.

and what of the children...
