Voices

There's a voice that I can hear sometimes out here on the mountain When it's dark and the sky is pouring acid like a fountain Memories like coal dust stain the window of my eyes So ask them no more questions they can't sell you no more lies

I hear voices all around me in society's depression Over and over they all recite their first impression The rivers are all crying but the ocean cannot speak Until her waters crash into uncharted shores so dark and bleak

How I wish somebody'd make these voices go away Seems they're always talking but they don't have much to say Well a picture's worth a 1000 words but a word ain't worth a dime We all know they'll go on talking til the end of time

Don't call it a sign of the times when it's always been this way Voices behind curtains forked tongues that have no name They plot their wicked schemes setting fate for all mankind With evil that can fill God's pretty skies with clouds that burn and blind

How I wish somebody'd make these voices go away Seems they're always talking but they don't have much to say Well a picture's worth a 1000 words but a word ain't worth a dime We all know they'll go on talking til the end of time
