Who are we?

 

Are we gods and ancestors?

Are we giants and heroes

With heart made of stone

Oh life, tell us

 

Are we the products of self absorption?
From the reactants of hatred and greed

In the presence catalyst of ignorance

Oh life, define us

 

Are we inhuman with our shameful eyes?
That seeks darkness

And chase smoke

Oh life, forgive us

 

Are we pain to the world?

With our faded life

Forged identities

Oh life, fill us
