Opium

Zeitgeist refers to any era (an entire time, and place)

To me, this song is about having nowhere to run...

As in, a person caused someone alot of pain, and they are coming to get them... There is nowhere to run, so give up and accept death. :)

I think he's talking about social darwinism(survival of the fittest). Where you must get your hands dirty or they'll eat you alive.

Correct lyrics: Can you see them coming From the valleys and the hills They finally got you Can you see them staring As they rain hits your palms They are here to gut you

Can you hear them speak your name They shout it out So the storm can come through Can you hear them celebrate That they found you Their knives will slip through

I know,I know that you can

Zeitgeist Wow, wow, darkness king-sized Zeitgeist Opium

Zeitgeist Wow, wow, the end of our lives Zeitgeist Opium

Can you feel them closing in The sky has exploded From powers unseen Can you feel your struggle As the dark turns to white The whitest you'ver seen

Can you think of Why they were here To carve your lungs out With their little toys Can you think of why You were playing on the darkside As you end in sharp noise

I know, I know that you can

Zeitgeist Wow, wow, darkness king-sized Zeitgeist Opium

Zeitgeist Wow, wow, the end of our lives Zeitgeist Opium

They count your steps They count your heartbeats They count the seconds That are carved in blood And you give in for the world That I show you tonight

Because the shadows strike hard In the ballrooms of your mind (opium) And now the devil play their cards In the graveyards of your time (opium)

Zeitgeist Wow, wow, darkness king-sized Zeitgeist Opium

Zeitgeist Wow, wow, the end of our lives Zeitgeist Opium
