Here we stand and face the world, renegades of consternation
Innocent in thought and word, ready for a new sensation
Block up the dam, close up the well to stop it flowing
Your memory is not preferred, for that is not the way we're going
Sliding away, from liberty to lethargy we fall
Subsiding again, collapsing from the burden of it all
Chorus:
But time after time we believe in better
Never let a chance pass us by
And we're sure we'll never fail to notice
Sign after sign, that a change is coming
Time is running out like a tide
But we think we're on a march of progress
From ashes we rise, to ashes we fall
We cannot disguise our hand in it all
Here we stand and take the blame, we thought that this could last forever
We turned our backs on God again, but everybody longs for heaven
Sliding away, from vision to deficiency we fall
Subsiding again, collapsing from the burden of it all
Here we stand and face the end, apathy alive and growing
On independence we depend but that is not the way we're going
Sliding away, from plenty to dependency we fall
Subsiding again, collapsing from the burden of it all
Here's the correct one
