Microdeath Softstar

The bringer of the future
 Casts a shadow, watch it grow
 He extends a single finger
 'Cause there's only one way to go
 And the watchers on the sidelines
 Polite to a tee
 Like contestants on tv
 They are you - they are me
 So come round all you faithful
 Watch him gather up the gold
 When he's got the lot he lingers
 Just to savour what he has sold
 And the mesmerized are silent
 Too stunned to believe
 What their eyes have finally received
 This is not a bad dream
 Come now and witness
 Time to behold
 All we have planted
 Has sprouted and grown
 Was it enough for you? Did it please you?
 Let the poison through
 Was it enough for you? No perfume
 Let the stench come through
 If you catch them at the station ask them how they feel
 When the cradle of creation is crushed under the wheels
 Do not speak oh do not speak
 'Cause nothing's left but words to reap
 And what we sowed is ours to keep
 Good day to everyone
 Do not speak oh do not speak (do not speak)
 The words were lies, our will was weak (will was weak)
 Lemmings poised to take the leap (do not speak)
 Good day to everyone (Is that all you have to say?)
 I'd like to say it's over and we will be okay
 I'd like to say it's over and that you feel the same
 Once upon a time there was some writing on the wall we all ignored
 Until the time when there was war and feasts of famine at our door
 Once upon a time there was a line that we had drawn we wouldn't-
 Cross 'cause it was wrong but lines are bendable and seldom very long
