about

Inspired by The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas and The Disposessed by Ursula K. Le Guin. The song is a condemnation of authoritarians who use the promise of a utopian world to justify state oppression and violence, as well as a rejection of utopianism. The struggle for equality and prosperity is a struggle that must always be fought, even in the "best" of times.

This also started out as an old Dethtruck song called Tempest Benzolayte, and was the only song I ever wrote for Dethtruck. We performed it live a few times, but it was never properly recorded.

lyrics

We dream of paradise - A beautiful end to justify the hell we’ve lived
Leaders shall paint us a clear path way - All we must do is follow
United under a singular vision. The concentrated will of many, unbreakable
Utopia will take our form - reject all other outcomes
This is our world

As the world that birthed our creed
Shifts into what we could not foresee
Dogma starts to clash with all that is real
Ripping apart the seams holding the dream in place
All of this manifesting unintended consequences
Driving those once loyal to find another way

Passing through the gates
Into unimaginable darkness
Only they know where they go
For they are the ones who walk away

Stubborn pursuits of utopia
Break the world as its forced into shape
Cries of the trampled are drowned out
In pursuit of a vision already lost

We ask whose bones we stand on now
We can’t let naive desires of paradise
Lead to willful ignorance of those who suffer for its sake
Utopia was never our cause
We fight to alleviate the oncoming suffering
We walk away from a world that demands complacency in oppression
