Listen to the music of a world of zealotry
Walk where you are led, silent and blindly
Forget about the right you have to decide
Forget about the intelligence you now hide

Listen to the music of a world of apathy
Listen to the songs of oblivion so paltry
Forget about everything in the idle bliss
Drown yourself in rum's shallow happiness

Listen to the music as it begins to fade
Dance to the piper's piping to the shade
Soon, soon the soft promises will allure
Soon, soon you will give up on the future

Listen to the silence then make your own
Raise in sheer defiance against oblivion
Know that the path you trod is yours now
Raise your voice against deceptive Shadow

Listen to the melody of Creation as it sings
Listen to the harmony of shackles breaking
Listen to the sound of Growth all around
Hear the rejoicing of purity that surrounds

Listen to the crescendos of Hope and Light
Listen to the crashing notes of the fight
Dance and think and know the full score
Never forget Creation is worth fighting for
