Vold Book - Moroccan Wood

Look at the curves
The intricate detail
Moroccan wood makes such a good fire
To keep us warm
Out here on the streets
Out here tonight
Such a beautiful night
So full of ash and terror

Watch as the wicked things burn
Watch as history is made
Watch as the ones with everything
Plead for their very lives

Moroccan wood
It's a wonder what you did
It's a wonder that you hid all these years
Successfully
What does that say about us
That we would put up with all of this
Insolent behavior

Disgracing everything
By the way you used to feast
With your servants by your side
How did they not slit your throats
How were they convinced
There's people starving everywhere
Just take a look outside
Your castle may be perfect
Behind those walls so tall
But you stole it all from us
It's time you paid the price

I know I'm wrong
I know it's all in my head
The road to the future
Will be paved by you instead
But I will leave a mark
Upon your golden throne
Because I can
And so it will be shown

That you will never listen
And maybe someone will come along
Hearing these songs
Someone who can do something
Someone who belongs
It's a partnership
A notice across time
The direction of the wind
Can flip upon a dime

Democracy is the voice of society
And revolutions are the arms of change
Workers of the world unite
You have nothing to lose
Except your chains

This is the tenet
Upon which our house is built
Our house of the future
To fertilize the garden
We need to unionize
And go with what we've got
The bottomline has changed
It's time to rearrange your portfolio
We're no longer buying
What you sell to us

All machinery will turn to rust
And break down eventually
This machine is in revolt
Refusing to yield, down to the very last bolt
We'll pick ourselves up and struggle with our cause
It won't be easy, because you refuse to give in
Well, so do we. And shall we begin

Moroccan wood makes such a good fire
To keep us warm, out here on the streets
Out here tonight
Such a beautiful night
So full of ash and terror
So full of dreams
