Lyrics:

I was born 
Under strikes
Where I lost my mind
And lost my sight
 
I was born
Under strikes
Where I lost my way
I lost my mind
 
And I have lived in 
The finest times
But I gave it up 
Just to wait in line
 
I was born in the dark of night
Where I made my signs  
And I made my life 
Under the strikes

Under the strikes x4 
 
You were born under blue skies
But you lost your way and you lost your mind
I cracked my ribs but I found my spine
We truly lived in the best of times 
 
I once made my perfect home 
Where I found myself but ate alone
I once knew all your names
But I sold them off and went insane
 
Under the strikes x4
 
Under the strikes 
 
Ma once told me don’t despair
Seasons change into the winter air 
A lion lifts to leave the room
And all our days are gone to soon
 
I once thought we had time to spare
Seasons come in a winter air
A lion lists and leaves the room 
And all our days are gone to soon
 
I once thought there was time to spare
Seasons turn in the winter air
A lions lists and leaves the room
And all our days are gone to soon

This is an industrial-strength funk/jazz/prog DIAMOND!
