Lyrics

Every station on the screen, showing something obscene,
These ugly situations have all lost their true meaning,
explain the aftermath to the innocent ones,
who live their life spreading nothing but good will and love,
the evil dosn't see it, the freedom wont believe it,
instead of making progress we just feed the idea.

As the people evolve, without reaching for resolve,
The eyes transfixed on the split between us all,
Its a fear that we see, through bleading hearts that unite,
We break away from the stuggle to regroup deep inside,
will the tide wash away, the filth we're forced to bear,
will the left meet the right in ambidextrous affair,
are we forced to face the mistakes of the past,
if we asked, could we really find the strength thats lasts...

Through all these years, I see the fears of the complicated years,
the tears, of the youth, as the world disappears,
into darkness, the shadow it falls,
its under banners and headlines,
its under bridges and bombs,
but no looks to see, the other direction,
to see the hungry and the sick of this over powered nation,
finding inspiration, in the power of numbers,
its just a matter of time, before foundation goes under.

And as we break down, the silent sound, falters at last,
in echos of reality that evades a steady grasp,
in this fast pace, I run the race, to reveal the hate inside,
for the path of the nation, the situations they hide,
I close my eyes to pretend that its all just a dream,
but we wait with the notion that its graver' than it seems.

The sympathetic words, just don't cut it anymore,
all the children see and hear is the violence and the war,
In the damage, all the lives, all the lies that just might die,
we might find the hope and promise that has left us behind,
if the peace has fallen victim to our hunger for power,
end every hour clocks the time, while answers falling farther.

We're falling down at a time, when we need to be strong.
Standing proud, and telling lies, when they're really just wrong,
We need to fight for the future, the children, our lives,
Just give us your tired, your poor, huddled masses unite...
And together we fight for the wisdom thats lost,
Holding tight unto the notion and the ultimate cost,
As the world starts to turn her back to the question at hand,
beneath the ignorance and silence, a nation we stand...

Through all these years, I see the fears of the complicated years,
the tears, of the youth, as the world disappears,
into darkness, the shadow it falls,
its under banners and headlines,
its under bridges and bombs,
but no looks to see, the other direction,
to see the hungry and the sick of this over powered nation,
finding inspiration, in the power of numbers,
its just a matter of time, before foundation goes under.
