Deep Inside

Deep inside, these feelings we hide
The ones we crave, we must obey

Long ago, in the valley below
The crevasse inside, the hole we don't show

The bitter feelings, they come about
With our drinks, we spit them out

Civilised we say, is the western man
Running around, no shame, no frown

We fire our guns, kill them every one
These enemies have no place to run

This better we think we are
Is not reflected in our soul

Dream of freedom, no locks or shackles
The land is ours, or do battle

We say many things that we don't do
Would you stand up for right?

Through our eyes, into our soul
We look for something, to fill this hole

We look for fun, we look for rest
We look for life, until our death

We leave this earth, our bodily home
We wait in silence, before the throne
