Birth Of An Era lyrics

Morning light A hand was raised To worship in grace The beginning of life Agrarian curse Settling basis Of forthcoming Damned times Hunters-gatherers Always submitted Emancipated in What was paradise Learning to domesticate We learned to dominate The path of survival So vital and clear From egalitarian To property and greed How did irrigation Lead to mass warfare? Control and subjugation Population growth Work and oppression And vertical society foundations Bestowed Shamans And so bowed the chiefs Kissed the martyr Glorified the kings Once we were One with the earth Instinctual freedom renunciation For the sake of civilization
