Christmas on Easter Island

I run and I hide from something inside
It threatens every western lie in my heart
It’s the ghost of an ancient fear
That would surely bring our world to tears
Are we big enough are we strong enough to last forever?

Christmas on Easter Island
Like pagan gods you and I

I’ll gladly resign my part in mankind
And live my days as a castaway by the sea
But I think we’ve been here before
Nothing is sacred anymore
We must pay the price for the paradise
We stole together
Time after time, crime after crime
I tell you there’s a savage raping the earth
You don’t even seem surprised
Maybe you’ve been hypnotised
By the dream of wealth
Did you give yourself to yourself forever?
