Mindfields - Opine

We think too much, and feel too little

More than machines, we need humanity

More than cleverness, we need kindness

Without these qualities, life would be violent

Soldiers!

Don’t give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you, enslave you;

who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel!

Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder.

Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men — machine men with machine minds

and machine hearts!

You are not machines, you are men!

And I’m walking through mindfields

Through the vast and bent up wrecks

Of my past but so these roads

That built from fire burn

Kickstart my tired heart

Strike a match, ignite the dark

And watch the memories slowly burn away

I’ve had enough cause it’s all I believe in

I’ve had enough cause its hard to find

It’s hard to find the poison racing through my veins

Can we burn this city

Burn this city

Down

Cause I know I’m ready

Know I’m ready

To move on

Outdone the greats

And now my chariot awaits

Heart of a lion

With the blood on my hands

Past mistakes

Some of them say

Will never be me

I’ll get my stride

And I can join the rest of you beside

I can hear them falling

Calling our names

Telling us to only trust what’s next in line

Nothing is wrong we make

Whatever we’ll be, we’ll be

But I’m away

I’m away

Now I’m dancing through minefields

On the ash of all that was

To the wars of our new dawn

Believers will be burned

Kickstart my tired heart

Strike a match, ignite the dark

And watch the memories slowly burn away

I’ve had enough cause it’s all I believe in

I’ve had enough cause its hard to find

It’s hard to find the poison racing through my veins

Can we burn this city

Burn this city

Down

Cause I know I’m ready

Know I’m ready

To move on

Can we burn this city

Burn this city

Down

Cause I know I’m ready

Know I’m ready

To move on

Kickstart my tired heart

Kickstart my tired heart

Kickstart my tired heart

Kickstart my tired heart

Kickstart my tired heart

Kickstart my tired heart

If you don’t believe, then

If you don’t believe, then walk
