Orchid

Lyrics

I am the future I am metaphor for war I take my medicine as I'm praying on all fours We sit in fields of rust, Corinthian and time I'm synthesis in motion I am freedom and decline Raise me to shine like an orchid from the cracks Wash me aside when my levees finally break In opposition we are never free When our cause becomes our slavery The poet and the warrior The future or the way we were Stand down, rise up, we all know The secret to the life we chose So we are I am law to save me from who I am I am love spent then reborn again We are orchid torn away All is forgiven when we pay The poet and the warrior The future or the way we were Stand down, rise up, we all know The secret to the life you chose Stand down, rise up, we all know Stand down, rise up, we all know
