Can't keep this picture from out of my mind This fear hand in hand crossing innoncence, time Surrounding creation they caught in a trap The youngest offenders will witness confusion
They drive him so fast not a care in the end Escaping collision every twist every bend When you're young invincible nothing to lose Keep seeing this picture standing in a circle The gods have forgotten to switch on the light Who's lost in the dark will crash in the night
These lessons we're living the lies of the day Expect them to honor and never disobey Yet greed is controlling the elders display No wonder the younger look at them in shame
The spirit of survival Who's teaching the hatred The spirit of survival Or the class of your school The spirit of survival The colour of your money We're standing in a circle We don't understand at all
They don't understand at all
In this world I truly do believe there is a safer place In this world I truly do believe there is a safer place
The younger the older the wiser become Recover misfortune this true life as one Our genius is shining the past has all gone What's left is the clearest perception of one
The spirit of survival To magnify the power The spirit of survival To magnify the soul The spirit of survival To magnify the love We're standing in a circle We don't understand at all We don't understand at all
In this world the gods have lost their way
