Milk And Honey

Lyrics

O what fools these mortals be,
 so tragic and so funny
 Ships of bones that sail the sea,
 for lands of milk and honey
 The promise of perfection sighs
 into each mortal ear
 Never to be realized,
 that's how it is 'round here.
 Bound to some relentless gyre,
 dispassionate and true
 Paying the price for ice and fire,
 that's what God's children do.
 Sacrifice love's mystery
 for fantasy and pleasure
 Doomed to repeat history,
 forever and ever.
 Wayward world I weep for thee,
 spinning 'round the sun
 Wellspring of diversity
 your roads all lead to one road
 What man has loosed upon the sea,
 cannot be undone
 O what fools we mortals be,
 each and every one
 Each and every one.
