On the road again
On a journey to the unknown
We started out with high hopes
But didn’t know where we would go
We thought we would trailblaze, but didn’t know how
We were unprepared for what was to come, nothing for it now
Went forth with the understanding: learn along the way
We failed to realize that it only made us easy prey
On the road again
Going where darkness lies
On the road again
With no end point in mind
We went forth with high hopes
Thinking us pioneers
Thinking us wise
Thinking we knew better than nature
But in truth, we were blind
We went forth thinking we were prepared
for what life threw at us
We thought we could influence the scenery around us
We thought… We thought… We thought…
But it was not enough
Wherever we may roam, darkness soon follows
A blight on the land, a pox on every man
The path ahead is where darkness lies
The path ahead is full of sorrow
The path ahead, the path ahead
Full of misery, full of pain
Our good intentions were just that
We thought we’d make a difference
We thought we’d do better
We thought we knew what was best
But we knew nothing
Just another colonist thinking we knew what was right
Just another colonist fucking up daily life
On the road to misery, we didn’t know we were headed
Spreading famine and misfortune, death’s angel
Territorial and possessive, claiming that which isn’t ours
Onward we may roam, but darkness is bound to follow
Where we go is where darkness lies
The burden of man is draining on the land
Each man is responsible, would be better off dead
On the road again to where darkness lies
On the path of darkness is where all hope dies
