Cursed Earth
Cursed Earth
Cursed Earth
Cursed Earth

I'll never feed off the evergreen luster of your heart
All because we all live in the valley of the walls
When they speak we can peak from the windows of their mouths
To see the land the women chant as they fly up to the sun

You never think you know why
Know, you never think you know why
Know, ever think you know why
Don't know, don't

Books all say different things while people flap their yellow wings
Trying to soar, being a whore, life and almost everything
Sheep that ran off from the herd, may be dead, now's a bird
Able to fly, able to die, able to fuck your mother's Earth

You never think you know why
Know, you never think you know why
Know, ever think you know why
Know

On the other side
The other side
The other side

Do you ever try to fly?
Do you ever try to fly?
Have you ever wanted to die?
Have you ever wanted to die?

Don't ever try to fly, don't ever try to fly
Don't ever try to fly, unless you leave your body on the other side
Never try to die, did you ever try to die?

Know, you never think you know why
Know, you never think you know why
Know, you never think you know why
Know, ever think you know why
Know

    Although I feel that people may be getting the just of the song, which is probably the most important task of System's work, NOT one person has hit the nail on the head concernicg the lyric "when we speak we can peak from the windows of their mouths to see the land the women chant as they fly up to the sun." This is actually a reference to a rendition(or version) of the Semiramis Of Babalon legend. In which the ruler(deity) Semiramis turns into a dove and flys up to the sun. If you look at ancient Iraqi artifacts, you will find statues of golden women with wings. I've got a great jpeg but I don't think you can post that here. But my point is that I have noticed a trend with certain political bands using Babalonian deity references, such as Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, Mc Paul Barman, and probably some others that I can't think of. This I connect to a certain obscure conspiracy, which claims that a secret society dating back to Babylon (Or earlier) gets it's kicks by puting thier trademarks out in the open. For example the statue of liberty isn't really a statue of liberty, It is a representation of Semiramis. I could go on forever about these connections, but I need to save some mojo for some other lyrics. Since not one person has hinted at the whole Babalonian reference and since Serj asks if you know why immediatly following the Semiramis reference, I seriously doubt most of you SOAD fans really know why. I may not even have the whole thing worked out. But in summary this music is part of a larger effort to cause a world wide awakening, and perhaps laying the ground work to create a world wide collective consciousness and a bunch of other esoteric mumbo jumbo. Who cooks for you all?
