- Blocked By A Wall
From the day I was born I was blocked by a wall
Crawling from the womb I was blocked by a wall
In the church in the school, blocked by a wall
Try to find my way in life – blocked by a wall!
Tried to feel emotion I was blocked by a wall
Tried to know love, blocked by a wall
Searching for the sun I was blocked by a wall
- Breaking Through
I can’t believe that I’ve come so far to be so far behind
Progress seems unattainable- when there is no clear path
Too many obstacles in my way,
I’M BREAKING THROUGH!
Change must come today! I’m breaking through!
Just when the smoke starts to clear, there’s another fire
But I will breach these flames- there can be no other way
I’m breaking through, I’m breaking through!
- Hearts Of Stone
When suffering and madness become commonplace
It gets overwhelming
And we haven’t even seen the worst of it yet
We’re so sheltered- is this the best we have to give?
Is this the measure of our lives?
Cynicism can be comforting, when everything is a lie
MELT THESE HEARTS OF STONE!
The life support systems begin to erode
- Liberation
Sometimes it seems that we’re caught in a trap
That human evolution is standing still
Doomed to repeat the same mistakes forever
I’m looking in a mirror
I don’t like what I see
I’m not doing what I know is right
And though my problems aren’t shit to the rest of the world
like so many others, I’m crawling towards the light
- No Capitulation
Things been getting rough, and we’re starting to fall behind
I’m afraid to say thoughts of failure are creeping into my mind
We’re fighting amongst ourselves, and its tearing out my heart!
AAAAGH!!! There’s something I gotta say!
NO DEFEAT! NO CAPITULATION! We will keep pressing on
I look around and I don’t know what to say
Overwhelmed by all the bullshit that keeps heading our way
The future looks so dim, but I know one thing is true
- There Is A Way
I hear you saying that there’s no hope
You know I’ve felt it too
Things going on in this world can wreck your soul
But if I open my eyes each morning, I got to know the reason why
Sick of feeling helpless-
Sick of feeling hopeless,
Looking for a path up out of this hell!
THERE IS A WAY to fight them, and there will come a time-
- Wasteland
Life ain’t just a struggle - It’s a fucking daily war!
I’m just trying to survive, conceptualize what I’m doing this for
WE’RE CROSSING THE WASTELAND
(Needing safe passage)
CROSSING THE WASTELAND
(To an unknown future…)
- What We Believe
Looking back on the way things once were
Everything seen in black and white
We were young and naïve but our hearts were in the right
Before everything became diluted by compromise
LET’S GET IT BACK!
TAKE IT BACK TO WHAT WE BELIEVE!
