If i ruled the earth
Id sail ships over seas untill sundown
Then id return
In dark to walk these streets alone

By day i hear the serpents calling me
This leads me from the shore in search of the deepest abyss
I am forever covering my tracks, and standing here with less than an existance
Though i hold the key to everthing

This sinking feeling never dies
I'll chase my sunset laced with pride in this heartless gallion

Although id rather fill my lungs and rapidly decend
And lay with my thoughts under bleak starlight
I'll keep on pushing through perpetual darkness
Then in hell i'll seek my confidence ...

Then id return, in dark to walk these streets alone, The
Twilight here wont embrace my words like waves do
The feel of dry land is making me sick
So i stand here coughing up sharks till
My neon glowing neck breaks

This sinking feeling never dies
I'll chase my sunset laced with pride in this heartless gallion

Walking through the dark here's to a new beginning
Its time to bow your heads to
A nations swinging axe
While you search for answers planted in the ground

Im happy watching you, dance your legs down to your knees
Im happy watching you, be infatuated with love
Im happy watching you ... watching you Die

This war with myself never ends
This war with myself never ...

The only way id return is to an orchestra of wolves
The only way id return ... if i ruled the earth !

    he probably feels isolated or purposely is avoiding other people.

    "Im happy watching you, dance your legs down to your knees
    Im happy watching you, be infatuated with love
    Im happy watching you ... watching you Die"

    this man has a lot of anger towards someone

    "Then id return, in dark to walk these streets alone, The
    Twilight here wont embrace my words like waves do
    The feel of dry land is making me sick
    So i stand here coughing up sharks till
    My neon glowing neck breaks"

    sounds like he wants to drown himself

    General Comment:Anyone read the book Brave New World? It seems kinda like that sort of social commentary.

    "Its time to bow your heads to
    A nations swinging axe
    While you search for answers planted in the ground"

    He's talking about how people aren't focusing on getting to the real issues, and are obsessed with being "Green"

    "Im happy watching you, dance your legs down to your knees
    Im happy watching you, be infatuated with love
    Im happy watching you ... watching you Die"

    Basically he's really cynical, questioning how people stupidly spend a majority of their lives partying and looking for love when they could be making a real difference: he's perfectly happy watching these kinds of people die.
