Dominici - The Plan lyrics

I. I went with great reluctance To meet with the strange man He promised to reveal to me A visionary plan Where all the worlds injustice And unfair cruelty Would all at once be wiped away What martyrs we would be The building with the pillars That housed the books of old Would teach me of the chemistry And tools that I must hold A simple drop of water The liquid gift of life When altered with a genius spark Will then cut like a knife II. The formula was simple The plan a noble one But when I studied further I found a smoking gun This was no simple terror act Not like the ones we'd seen The horror in this formula No one could even dream An unleashed chain reaction Would change all oxygen And all that does contain it Into O3 poison. The air would be like fire The water like a fuel The world would choke and sputter With no one left to rule I'm sure that they can't know this It cannot be their plan There must be some mistake here I have to find that man But when I ran to catch him To tell of what I'd found A stranger barked, "Stop! F.B.I!" And threw me to the ground III. I awoke in darkness My head was wracked with pain But the case had been mishandled And I was on the street again I ran home to my woman To ask what should I do She also turned against me She thinks I'm evil too It seems the man had been there And asked where I might be He thinks I turned against him He saw them arrest me I'm feeling so alone now The urge to run and hide And all this primal anger Now festers deep inside IV. My family is doomed now As far as I can tell The new life I have come to love About to end as well What's left now is this question I'm forced to wonder why… Why should I let the whole world live? When I myself must die.
