Lyrics
Living in these dark times it's hard to stop these dark rhymes
It seems that we have lost before we've even crossed the start line
Metaphor for human race, what's in store for heaven's sake
Watching ourselves dissipate and even worse participate
In our own demise, think about it, read between the lines
Damn we must be blind, see the signs, we're almost out of time
And reality might not always be what you might hope
Sometimes you really feeling like you walking across a tight rope
Above a sea of uncertainty and certainly it hurts worse to be
Coerced because a loss of freedom hurts worse than a third degree
Burn, let the ashes fall, yearn, pick up the pieces y'all
Gotta learn to hear the call, turn before you hit the wall
Sink or swim, make it count, trust your friends when in doubt
Make amends, take a vow, opposition, take 'em out
Never let nothing get between you and your hopes and your dreams
We've suffered long enough, now it's time to hear our screams
X2
If we could start all over a million miles from here
Could we eliminate the hate inside and all our fears
Or would we keep it going, our self-inflicted hell
We gotta reach for peace before history can repeat itself
We gotta do the math, find out the final score
I swear we're knock, knock, knocking up on heaven's door
And as the world turns, we get closer to fate
It really makes you wonder what's the purpose, what's at stake
What are we meant to do besides living and breathing
Why must we try to live outside our means and stay daydreaming
Material things and money seem to be our obsession
When it isn't that it's killing with billions spent on weapons
We gotta co-exist which means we gotta focus this
Hope for Utopian bliss despite of our newfound hopelessness
Back then religious beliefs is what kept us separated
Now it's the power struggle for financial domination
Sins of the father continue passed on to generations
Maybe one day we can unite as one, a sovereign nation
Take it for what it is but don't take it for granted
