A Place To Survive (2005 Digital Remaster)

Hammill

It's easy to say when you're so down

That everything's pointless

Your eyes burn your ears howl

Your limbs are disjointed

Barren fields the barren earth never more will it flower

Rub your face and your hands in the dirt：

Now is the hour

So stand straight looking over your shoulder

Walk on though you fear to arrive

Don't wait till you know that it's over

Be strong it's your place to survive

While the holocaust rages around you

Be the eye of the storm

Though the extent of disaster astounds you

Forearmed is forewarned

You may have passed time in happier ways

But there are other mountains to climb：

You've never lived as you're living today

Now is the time

Stand straight though your back breaks from trying

Walk on even now you must strive

Don't wait while you're waiting you're dying

Be strong it's your place to survive

The universe is doubtless

Unfolding just exactly as it should

And these dreams of remorse or foreboding

Just won't do you any good

The joy the passion possessions you own

The bitterness and the pain

The end of everything you've ever known

All these are ordained

Stand straight looking into the future

Walk on we've each got our own lives

Don't wait for a guru or tutor

Be strong it's your place to survive

Stand straight looking over your shoulder

Walk on：though it hurts you're alive

Don't wait if you wait it's all over

Be strong it's your right to survive
