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

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 the 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

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 the tide
But we think we're on a march of progress


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

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 the tide
But we think we're on a march of progress
But we think we're on a march of progress
