Every step that we tread |
|
The dead are behind us |
|
Throwing shadows out over our heads |
|
And they live far in front of us |
|
No oceans left to cross |
|
No mountains left to climb' |
|
Cause that's what |
|
I've been told |
|
And it's got so hard to look around |
|
And see just who can save you |
|
If you don't have a pot of gold |
|
Was there ever a time |
|
Like this? |
|
As the noise of the past |
|
Builds up into a crescendo |
|
The layers of rubbish makes their plea |
|
Amplified a million times or more |
|
But our heads just can't cope as we fall |
|
Into the arms of the waiting mystics |
|
Books burning, barrels turning |
|
A billion wasted futures light up the night sky |
|
Small hopes flash past the [unverified] |
|
While foreign forces wait and pray |
|
And a fear of the future is so deep in our hearts |
|
That they'll all but destroy ourselves |
|
Like the centuries old feuds |
|
Being updated with high tech weapons |
|
In the end, it's not the future |
|
But the past that'll get us |
|
I always believed [unverified] like this cost lives |
|
That's why |
|
I was always in line for the sacrifice |
|
But now my eyes point ahead |
|
Away from the ghosts of the dead |
