[hometext] => i hope someone gets something out of this
[bodytext] => In a great stone wall or a hanging garden a total barbed wire nation or a dark, deep canyon, where our secrets are held It doesn't matter about what's natural or real but keeping it to yourself and reserving what you feel. There's a good tax-man and a bad Samaratin playing Russian Roulette like a concept they're cheating, aiming at the head but it isn't convincing because people shoot to kill while the threat keeps repeating. But when Pandora's Box goes on Auto-Lock all the walls go away, Danger's on the run and Fear's on the sway. All the bad things take a turn for the worse when the Dark's gone and the Law's cursed. As sure as Niagara Falls falls a messenger calls, with a drowned black baby dragging his leg through these halls. And he just pushes on manifested through dawn to place still insurance on each prisoner's lawn, till he reaches the cracked monument and salutes still under it's spell A bearded man asks how long till he can pay with good looks. The real things we are guarding aren't close to the truth, they're just an icecap on slide, a mother wanting to hide outside a ranch in Texas where the widowed all cry, for a statue that fell like a liberty bell, we seek to teach what we could never expel But when Pandora's Box goes on Auto-Lock all the walls go away, Danger's on the run and Fear's on the sway. All the bad things take a turn for the worse when the Dark's gone and the Law's cursed.
