Orchid Lyrics

I am the future
I am metaphor for war
I take my medicine as I'm praying on the floor
We see the future whats going behind our time
I'm synthesis in motion I am freedom and decline

Raise me to shine I cannot define my 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 and rise up, we all know
The secret to the life we chose
So we are

I am not escaping from who I am
I am less than dead, reborn again
We all won't get turned away
All is forgiven when we pray

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

Whoa, these lyrics are messed up in some crucial places. Here's how it should go:

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 and rise up, we all know The secret to the life we chose So we are

I am law to save me from 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
