Lyric discussion by Inapplicable 

Cover art for Kerou's Lament lyrics by Ellery James Roberts

No I don't know Where this world is going For all this life is showing Breaks through The paper chains that hold you They hold me

You know I try and stay sober But the feeling it's over A life in this coma It's hard to stay sober In this life

Alone the struggle seems wholly worthless So find Your friend Dream the finest - show them we're not helpless

(y) You made me forgive myself 'Til the moment I found I was something else My heart is good Believe me I could Watch these heads go blow (/below?)

I promised you're alive I can barely feel I won't let go Of this life I'm gonna feel myself

No I don't want your baby to say I pull the trigger come judgement day And you're only what you say I'll bust this head for a funny game (/v)

I'll make an apology for these words And understand that I can't escape I have no more love for this world If you hear me then let's break away

So people come on, people come on The world that held you now has gone Together the wolves will lay Together alone the wolves will play

(y)...(/y)

So give me life, Na ah , a life I can barely feel Give me life Nah ah, a life I can be myself

(???)

And I said,

To the powers of old To the powers that be You have fucked up this world but you won't fuck with me

(x7)

"In a state of enlightened anarchy each person will become his own ruler, they will conduct themselves in such a way that the behaviour will not hamper the well being of their neighbours. In an ideal state there will be no political institutions and therefore no political power."
