Facts Aren't Reality

Hear the call
Of Man!
Hear the answer!
The trumpet roar
Of Hairy Chests
And Fuzzy Faces!
Watch the stampede
Of leather boots and
Arctic Coats!
Fear our Coming!
Zero Degrees?
Chance of Disease?
Plague of Crazed Fleas?
Ain't Reality!
Just Facts!
That we note
In some small part
Of our Massive Heads!
Trudge On
We Cry!
To the next mountain
And up that cliff
And through that forest
And across that desert!
For we are Men!  OOH!! RAH!!

Breaker

People pushing me 
To the edge of reality
And the syntax of insanity
Is the mindset of a nation
And all the stars in the sky
Still shine in the people's eye
But what heaven has forgotten
Is to give them heart

Death fills the door of home
Sitting at the shoulder of man
Staring at the corpse of Pan
While the television screen screams
And lovers take their vows and hate
And ancients hasten towards fate
Give back our lives we cry
Silence only replies

We need a hammer
For our shackles
We need a breaker
For our lives
We need to destroy
What we create
