[00:00:06] Title: Unforgivable Youth（feat Jason Evigan）

[00:00:25] This world my heart my soul

[00:00:28] Things that I don't know

[00:00:32] The icicles they grow

[00:00:35] They never let me go

[00:00:38] Scars are left as proof

[00:00:41] But tears they soak on through

[00:00:43] Things I've done

[00:00:45] My young

[00:00:47] My unforgivable youth

[00:00:48] We land on the horizon

[00:00:50] The passion in their eyes then

[00:00:52] What they think of islands and much more in their size

[00:00:55] Bountiful and plentiful and resource to provide them

[00:00:58] Supplies slim

[00:00:59] Morale when so heavily inside them

[00:01:01] Now steadily declining

[00:01:02] Return is not an option as necessity denies them

[00:01:05] With this they choose to dive in

[00:01:07] Now along the shore and so aware of their arriving

[00:01:09] Other children of this land prepare to share in their surviving

[00:01:13] A pigeontry of feathers stands his majesty with treasure

[00:01:16] Now the material things that kings that could never last forever

[00:01:19] But secrets of the spirit world

[00:01:20] And how to live in harmony together

[00:01:22] Unbenounced to him his head would be

[00:01:24] The first that they would sever

[00:01:25] And stuck up on a pike up along the beach

[00:01:28] Kept up as a warning to the rest to turn away from their beliefs

[00:01:31] And so began it here And for 500 years

[00:01:34] Torture Terror Fear til they nearly disappear

[00:01:38] This world my heart my soul

[00:01:41] Things that I don't know

[00:01:45] The icicles they grow

[00:01:47] They never let me go

[00:01:50] Scars are left as proof

[00:01:54] But tears they soak on through

[00:01:56] Things I've done

[00:01:58] My young

[00:01:59] My unforgivable youth

[00:02:02] Ways and means from mistreated human beings

[00:02:04] A slave labor force provides wealth to the machine

[00:02:07] And helps the new regime establish and expand

[00:02:10] Using manifest destiny to siphon off the land

[00:02:13] From native caretakers who can barely understand

[00:02:16] "How can land be owned by another man

[00:02:19] Warns one can not steal what was given as a gift

[00:02:22] Is the sky owned by birds and the rivers owned by fish "

[00:02:26] But the lesson when the heated

[00:02:27] For the sake of what's not needed

[00:02:29] You kill but do not eat it

[00:02:30] The excessive and elitists don't repair it when they leave it

[00:02:33] The forests's were cleared the factories were built

[00:02:36] And your mistakes will be repeated

[00:02:38] By your future generation doomed to pay for your mistreatments

[00:02:41] Foolishness and flaws

[00:02:42] Greed and needs and disagreement

[00:02:44] And you rushed to have the most

[00:02:45] From the day you left your boats

[00:02:47] You'll starve but never die

[00:02:48] In a world of hungry ghosts

[00:02:51] This world my heart my soul

[00:02:54] Things that I don't know

[00:02:57] The icicles they grow

[00:03:00] They never let me go

[00:03:04] Scars are left as proof

[00:03:07] But tears they soak on through

[00:03:09] Things I've done

[00:03:11] My young

[00:03:12] My unforgivable youth

[00:03:15] As archaeologists dig in the deserts of the east

[00:03:17] Appeared 100 meters wide and 100 meters deep

[00:03:20] They discover ancient cars on even older streets

[00:03:23] And a city well preserved and most likely at it's peak

[00:03:26] A culture so advanced

[00:03:28] And by condition of the teeth

[00:03:29] They can tell that they was civil

[00:03:31] Not barbaric in the least

[00:03:32] A society at peace

[00:03:34] With liberty and justice for all

[00:03:36] Neatly carved in what seems to be a wall

[00:03:39] They would doubt that there was any starvation at all

[00:03:41] That they pretty much had the poverty problem all solved

[00:03:45] From the sheer amount of paper

[00:03:46] Most likely used for trade

[00:03:48] Everything's so organized

[00:03:49] They had to be well behaved

[00:03:51] Assumed they had clean energy

[00:03:52] But took to no enemies

[00:03:54] Very honest leaders with overwhelming sympathies

[00:03:57] Religions kinda complex

[00:03:58] Kinda hard to figure out

[00:04:00] And this must be the temple

[00:04:01] This White House

[00:04:04] This world my heart my soul

[00:04:07] Things that I don't know

[00:04:10] The icicles they grow

[00:04:13] They never let me go

[00:04:16] Scars are left as proof

[00:04:19] But tears they soak on through

[00:04:22] Things I've done

[00:04:24] My young

[00:04:25] My unforgivable youth

[00:04:39] -End-
