The messenger has just arrived

Stumbling through the gate

Like a chopper on a Saigon roof

Almost too late

Through swamps of bile and desert miles

She barely made it through

Trembling she hands

The tattered scroll to you

The seal is unbroken

But something’s clearly wrong

You know what’s in the message

You’ve known it all along

But you feel too weak to open it

From fatigue and fear

It says you’ve gotta move

It says get out of here!

But you’ve worked for decades

Building the dream

The family, factory, fantasy

The silent scream

But now you’re hanging by a thread

From the fabric of your life

Slowly sliding on the tears

When you know you need the knife

But a plan is not an action

It’s the details that you dread

Feeble failures

Keep running through your head

But one day there’s no turning back

You’ll find the key

Then there’s only open doors

Then there’s only free!

The seal is unbroken

But something’s clearly wrong

You know what’s in the message

You’ve known it all along

Now you’re not too weak

There’s anger for the fear

It says you gotta move

It says get outta here!
