INNER TERRESTRIALS LYRICS

"Thirty Pieces"

Thirty pieces of silver is that the going price
Is that the magic bargain that turns you men to mice
Well it seems so very cheap such a small price to keep us meek
Distracted from the way so we’re alone and scared and weak

And the pain cuts like a knife when you feel that you’ve wasted your whole life
Chasing up blood money through all those years of strife
And all those years you worked never was it said that you had shirked
You can leave something behind but it’s the emptiness that hurts

If you live set up for failure, you’ll tear yourself apart
Anything is slavery if it isn’t in your heart
Failure is your fear if you think the end is always near
Sold a packaged slavery instead of being here

Pictures of my life flash by, a myriad in front of my eyes
My heart is filled with pain, I don’t know where to lay the blame
If I could live it all again, it wouldn’t be the same now as it was then
I would take the opportunity to express my creativity
If I could go right back to the start I’d drop the pretence and follow my heart
I never did understand you could break free from the master plan
Now that it seems too late, it’s beyond my power to outrun fate
I realise it was true, I could have done what I wanted to do

So if thirty pieces of silver is a measure of your worth
And the price of your existence down here on planet earth
Unlike the demons from the pale, the truth in your heart will never fail
So follow it, forget the rest, don’t let your soul go stale

Or the pain cuts like a knife…

If I could live it all again, it wouldn’t be the same now as it was then
I would take the opportunity to express my creativity
If I could go right back to the start I’d drop the pretence and follow my heart!
