Lyrics
HISTORY
a tribe known as Enemy was
out on tough terrain stirrin' up the dust
and Enemy was dazed and confused
tryin to inflict its view thru wounds
and people everywhere came to fight or join
but you came trippin down the aisle,
poised, and remained there a while.
why can't you believe me when I tell you?
why can't I relieve you when you cry?
is there no beginning till the end?
aiming and missing ..Talking without listening.
deep infatuation..Mirages of entanglement
ilusions of nations..good and bad vibrations
waiting at the stations
dare not lose your patience
cause it all goes down in history
things you do to get yourself in trouble
things I do to keep trouble away from me.
enemies you slept with
lovers you have wept with
Thoughts that we have cast down to the sea.now can you forgive? Lessons have been lived
land has been relinquished
as victory meets defeat.
collisions and divisions
won't occur in perfect rhythm
just as ancient wisdom says
it all goes down..it all goes down..
all goes down in history.
makin peace with the past
getting acquainted with the future
taking faith over fear into the dawn of tomorrow.
you may move to slow to know friend from foe
move too fast and bring unwanted sorrow.
why can't you believe me when I tell you.......
