we lack a sense of truly human mode
voices are raised when silence ought
to reign
there is no way for us to read the
code
each wants to reap what other folk
have sowed
without a pause for any to explain
we lack a sense of truly human mode
no one waits here at the most urgent
node
the place where all the symbols stand
out plain
there is no way for us to read the
code
we've come too far along this narrow
road
to discount all the moments of small
gain
we lack a sense of truly human mode
it's far too easy to let time erode
the certainties for which you should
campaign
there is no way for us to read the
code
a grain of powder would make things
explode
and halt at once the long-prevailing
pain
we lack a sense of truly human mode
there is no way for us to read the
code
