Counting Down The Days 歌詞

 

Who are you what have you become

A charming illusion a source of confusion

Another day &you'll win the race

Another day &you'll find your place:

A charming illusion a source of confusion

Another rise to power no matter who or when

And we will know of our freedom never again

A common thread of distance in the hearts

Of men &we'll have love for our brothers never again

We are all the victims of a will to overcome

How far we've gone out of touch

There's no right side of war

You can't justify it

To erase away all that we've become

They can't see we're all one

A voice cries from underneath:

Dark shepherds strongly though you wield the staff

You're weakened by comfort

There's no way you're prepared for what happens last:

Action reaction like an eye for an eye from our tribal days

The lesser ones demand reaction

Dare to challenge the one universal law

Set you up to fall

Do you understand now why your days are numbered

Do you understand

The course of events were a riddle a pause in time

A search for the solution as we stood in line

Honored our oppressors and paid our fines

Then all became clear as the ferocity inside began

To hear the drums of war resound across the land

Announcing the fate to shed blood upon the earth it is ours

To a system of capitalist politicians false face of a greater power:

Your empire will fall bringing about the end of an era

Warmongers your bloodlust to conquer turn the moments

Of our lives into a ticking time bomb of your own creation

Counting down the days rot in your graves

Doomed to repeat our history there is more than one way

To manifest the possibility of how things could be

To erase away all we've become to erase away all that we love
