Birth of an Era Lyrics


Morning light

A hand was raised

To worship in grace

The beginning of life

Agrarian curse

Settling basis

Of forthcoming

Damned times

Hunters-gatherers

Always submitted

Emancipated in

What was paradise.

Learning to domesticate

We learned to dominate

The path of survival

So vital and clear

From egalitarian

To property and greed

How did irrigation

Lead to mass warfare?

Control and subjugation

Population growth,

Work and oppression

And vertical society foundations

Bestowed Shamans

And so bowed the chiefs

Kissed the martyr

Glorified the kings

Once we were

One with the earth

Instinctual freedom renunciation

For the sake of civilization.
