"Omelas" by Amanda Sukenick (With help by ChatGPT ; D)
Ukulele & vocals Performed by Rei - Thank you!!
Dedicated to Matti Häyry, without whom none of this would be possible.
In the dark, underneath
I'm the child they hide beneath their feet
Locked away from the world's sweet song
From womb to tomb, but I don't belong
Do they know the price they pay
For their joy, each and every day
I'm the one they've chosen to ignore
Sacrificed behind this hidden door
Chorus:
Omelas, Omelas, city of delight
Omelas, Omelas, but for me, it's an endless night
Omelas, Omelas, a burden, a hidden stain
Omelas, Omelas, in the shadows, I'll remain
I dream of nothing, of broken chains
Escaping the darkness, where suffering reigns
But in Omelas, our destiny is sealed
Trapped in this cycle, our voices concealed
No more, no more, let the cycle end
It’s no more suffering that we must defend
Forced into existence, against our will
Omelasian children, let’s make an end
Chorus
Bridge:
Every constructive eruption
Feeds the collective seduction
But I’ll cause a destructive disruption
One day end this procreative corruption
And so friends, let the cycle end
It’s no more suffering, that we must defend
Omelasian children, lets walk away
There’s no need for another day
To those who dare, to truly care, why create, this despair
