[Groom, West]


From a room in a house on a hill
The World can change on the turn of a will
Ooh there's no need to remind us

Ooh you're killing us with kindness
On the left on the left on the left
A desolate horizon

On the right on the right on the right
A destiny is rising
We forget we forget we forget

The signs and implications
We deny we deny we deny
Our final condemnation

From the dust of oppression and foes
We have risen from our chains
Now the rust of complacency grows

As we give it all away
How did our conscience get so seared
That we could all stand by

As victory disappears before our eyes
We can fight against corruption
We can stand for what is true

But we fall when we surrender
To the corporation view
And our faith can only offer

What we faithfully pursue
I promise you I promise you
On the left on the left on the left

Apostasy has spoken
On the right on the right on the right
Our promises are broken

All the things we believe in and know
Fall like targets in a war
All the thoughts we were thinking long ago

Have become unthinkable
How did our conscience get so eared
That we could all stand by

As history disappears before our eyes
We can fight against corruption
We can stand for what is true

But we fall when we surrender
To the corporation view
And our faith can only offer

What we faithfully pursue
I promise you I promise you
It's a silent revolution as so thoughtfully

We're persuaded til we're crushed and jaded
Feigning ignorance faking innocence
To belie our inner voice

They shoot us with ideology kill with policy
So protection overrides objection
Contemplation a violation

Til the memory of freedom is gone
Til the memory of freedom is gone
We can fight against corruption

We can stand for what is true
But we fall when we surrender
To the corporation view

And our faith can only offer
What we faithfully pursue
I promise you I promise you

We can fight against corruption
We can stand for what is true
But we fall when we surrender

To the corporation view
And our faith can only offer
What we faithfully pursue

I promise you I promise you
