"It never ceases to surprise me at the infinite capacity of the human mind to resist the introduction of useful knowledge."
There's a dead sky rising on the dark horizon with the reason and the rhyme of a hurricane There's an empire falling and a future calling as the seasons and the times move on again Do we find solutions in a constitution? Has the reason we designed it gone away? Do we find repentance to suspend our sentence? Because the seasons and the times don't want to wait
Once there was a city left to ruin, alone and broken down The walls that once gave shelter are levelled to the ground Powerless to cope, for there was no one left to trust Nothing there to hope for when your dreams have turned to dust The kings are in the counting house They're counting up their prize, but all that they've accounted is the sum of their demise
Won't be moved by what I see (Anger, fear, and jealousy) Losing hold of liberty (Complacency to apathy) Running wild on make believe (A panacea to legacy) Watch it flow from liberty (To apathy, dependency)
Once there was a city from the ashes arising up with faith So eager as she rushes to make the same mistakes Our fine veneer of progress only covers us so far It only takes a crisis to reveal the way we are The kings are in counting house to borrow from their foes The debts are only mounting That's the way the money goes
