Being Exemplary Songtext
von Shai Hulud

And this is what shall come to pass.
A new precept for the world to adopt.
And this is what the children shall learn...

Prepare for the lowest standard.
Rough diamonds in the palms of
Fools,
Unable to give
The crucial gift of reason.

The unwise teaching wisdom.
The absurd defining priority.
Fools,
Unable to give
The crucial gift of reason.

What more can be expected of a child,
Being a product of the stark worst -
Its fathers blood.


Censure rightly;
Make no mistake,
The ascendants,
They are veritably...
Criminal.

Fare thee well
Fare thee well
Fare thee well. Down the random path of chance.

Godspeed.
Fare thee well. Down the random path of chance.

God-speed.

Set sail,
Against the wind,
Under the misguiding light of faulty beacons.

Set sail,
Against the wind,
With vices for virtues,
Dishonor for ethics,
And excess for etiquette,
As examples -


Such sorry examples.
Such sorry examples!
And what of the children
What of the children
What of the children
What of the children...

Ignorant of it′s weight.
Blind to it's worth.

Something is terribly amiss
When the beauty and the miracle of new life
Is nothing but a burden.

This burden
Is a life.
This burden
Is a child.
This burden
Is a life.

Men without dedication
This burden
Speaking of truth and loyalty.
This burden
Women without conviction
This burden

Teaching respect and compassion-
No!

And what of the children...
What of the children.
