Alone and Unaware, the Landscape Was Transformed In Front of Our Eyes
Red Sparowes
The Great Leap Forward Poured Down Upon Us One Day Like A Mighty Storm, Suddenly And Furiously Blinding Our Senses.
Red Sparowes
Buildings Began to Stretch Wide Across the Sky, and the Air Filled With a Reddish Glow
Red Sparowes
The Fear Is Excruiating, But Therein Lies the Answer
Red Sparowes
We Left the Apes to Rot, But Find the Fang Still Grows Within
Red Sparowes
Finally, As That Blazing Sun Shone Down Upon Us, Did We Know That True Enemy Was The Voice Of Blind Idolatry; And Only Then Did We Begin To Think For Ourselves.
Red Sparowes
Millions Starved And We Became Skinnier And Skinnier, While Our Leaders Became Fatter And Fatter.
Red Sparowes
And By Our Own Hand Did Every Last Bird Lie Silent In Their Puddles, The Air Barren Of Song As The Clouds Drifted Away. For Killing Their Greatest Enemy, The Locusts Noisily Thanked Us And Turned Their Jaws Toward Our Crops, Swallowing Our Greed Whole.
Red Sparowes
"Annihilate The Sparrow, That Stealer Of Seed, And Our Harvests Will Abound; We Will Watch Our Wealth Flood In."
