Misery and Famine lyrics

So proud a history, replete with sanctity

Orbs in their harmony, they sing their code to me

Have you ever heard yourself, the orbit that you're in?

The terse, oppressive blanket that's instilled here by our spin

It's misery and famine, it's a force we cannot see

Misery and famine, it compels us naturally

Misery and famine, great ellipse, we bend to thee

Misery and famine, just accept your vagrancy

Others who bear no name, who feel that life's a game

My verse they will defame, we suffer all the same

They pay no regard to their position or their speed

The firmament still covers them with its malevolent seed

It's misery and famine, it's a force we cannot see

Misery and famine, it compels us naturally

Misery and famine, great ellipse, we bend to thee

Misery and famine, just accept your vagrancy

You look for meaning in things no one comprehends

You feel no affinity to the rabble we're in

Sources of inquiry have nothing to portend

They will perplex us all until the coming end

Until the coming end

A feeling of despair, hungry and full of care

We resent everywhere the fortune that we share

This earth could be a better place is a concept I condone

Given our pathetic course, our destiny is known

It's misery and famine, it's a force we cannot see

Misery and famine, it compels us naturally

Misery and famine, great ellipse, we bend to thee

Misery and famine, just accept your vagrancy

Misery and famine

Misery and famine

Misery and famine

Misery and famine
