Why (Remastered)
Another of the question-word songs. I do believe we're here for a reason, but I don't think the reason is a comfortable one. This one's pillar is the oldest line in the book: as above, so below.
You're here for a purpose
But the reason isn't nice
Search to find the reason
Be brave and look close twice
Mythology's enchanted
With evil fighting good
Angels or the demons
Seek dark or light you should
As above, so below
Below, as above
True and false a lie
Robs us all of love
We're made by something outside
The world that we can see
Gods or big-haired aliens
Out of reach, they seem
Why they would do this
Conflicting reasons gave
From gold to altruism
Still we're bound for graves
As above, so below
Below, as above
True and false a lie
Robs us all of love
People fight and argue
The truths we hold most dear
Maybe that is just because
Without some faith, we fear
We bury with experience
And habits painful learned
The evidence before us
Other facts are burned
As above, so below
Below, as above
True and false a lie
Robs us all of love
All pointless and stupid
We scratch and claw and bite
As long as we're divided
True enemy can't fight
You're here for a purpose
But the reason isn't nice
Like cattle in the field
You're just food, a sacrifice
As above, so below
Below, as above
True and false a lie
Robs us all of love
I know it's hard to listen
I feel the sudden shock
Consistent themes through history
Just see the ticking clock
Deep inside you know this
You feel this looming fate
Three paths now lay before you
Give up, ignore, or hate
As above, so below
Below, as above
True and false a lie
Robs us all of love
Stand us all together
Unite as people can
Even if it's hopeless
Scream that we're human
Deny those that would rule you
Refuse to submit
Master your own urges
Entire gameboard flip
As above, so below
Below, as above
True and false a lie
Robs us all of love
If we all give a little bit
For others make some room
Find by small concessions
We get what we need too
There's not an outside savior
No parental figure soothes
Be responsible yourself
Or by others you'll be used
As above, so below
Below, as above
True and false a lie
Robs us all of love
If we all give a little bit
For others make some room
Find by small concessions
We get what we need too
There's not an outside savior
No parental figure soothes
Be responsible yourself
Or by others you'll be used
As above, so below
Below, as above
True and false a lie
Robs us all of love
There's threats we can't imagine
Things that break our minds
Without first being flexible
New concepts you must find
As above
As below, so above
Above, as below
Deep inside us all
Every person knows
Deny those that would rule you
Refuse to submit
Master your own urges
Entire gameboard flip
Stand us all together
Unite as people can
Even if it's hopeless
Scream that we're humans
If there's no choice but to end
Go bold into the night
Scream that we're human
Spit into their eyes
