Songtext von The Line

I walk across the bridge that joins irony in steel Halfway I meet the sign It speaks to me of something that exists Well I can't see it It seems that there's this line; it splits a river Further down in deep woods Animals just wander oblivious to violations Now it seems a harmless thing But someday I might have to search you; strip you down Now it seems a harmless thing But someday I might be forced to lock you up Once it seemed a harmless thing Now I've put a bullet through you Gray inside and out; consoled by motion Facedown past the steps and then the brick fronts Vaguely past one church and then another Unaware past gray cut stone Now I'm in but don't know why; why? Dim and empty color on the pews I kneel and don't even care why; why? Quiet; sounds like Jesus talking Some dead piece of me comes back to life Why, why, why, why, why? Now peace seems a simple thing But someday I might be taught to hate you Consolation mine for joining Whose way must I turn my back to? Will your god become my devil? And killing you; my prayer I refuse; I deny Lost the eyes that saw your lines Empty sockets pour in light (Guitar solo) I refuse; I deny; I won't choose Never saw you color-coded Enemy, my gun's unloaded Who tells you and who tells me? We don't need their help to see You're full of fear without their lines Your power's drawn through all their lines Lines are lies and lies are lines History; heredity Poverty and luxury Geography; economy A soul's the only you I see I'm non-aligned, non-aligned, non-aligned I'm not a line
