Keep walking forward, step in line Dead inside and anesthetised to thought and pain We're always watching our footing, treading all so carefully When conscience is all we can depend on Separating men from machines in a manufactured world Where we've all grown numb to self-assessment and self-control Yet still so quick to judge one another Crawling back to a finish line With no reward for our constant strive We know nothing of sacrifice No sense of consequence pervades our minds We've walked this path for far too long And every day, every day I feel it slip further away The minutes tick by, and turn to years And in the morning I'll awake believing nothing new has changed Except my outlook has turned inside And now I've seen the fading lights Grow cold and turn to night The only warning sign To cut these worldly ties We'll align ourselves with the stars And tell the world we know who we are Based on reflections in deception's mirror Anesthetised to thought and pain We take what we're given, with no second guess And walk away all the same We owe no allegiance Give rise to your own independence The dawn of a new era Where lives are valued and not regarded As commodities for the worst of men Take my hand It's no utopian promised land This will take everything Seeking light of our own Breathe in life, breathe in hope Seeking light of our own Breathe in life, breathe in hope Breathe in hope We've walked this path for far too long
