Where do you stand
And what do you believe in
The rise and fall of an empire
Picking up speed
The winds of change
To send you hurling back into the fire
It's a sad fact that you never heard the call
Say it's a tragedy but we'll forget it all
Walk along the edge of a broken razor
See it all wiped not a single trace and
Left to be found in the layers of ashes
Waiting for the final slashes
Say it won't happen to you and so
History will prove you wrong, off you go
So here we are
Another futile attempt
To rebuild and shape the future
But what can we do
That hasn't been tried before
Mother knows, there's nothing new to her
Why not face the facts now give up and submit
It's not worth the effort you put into this
To give your life for pointless cause
and it only leads to even more pointless wars
in the name of all that is wrong with your life
You will misunderstand, then fight, then die
And no one will even remember you lived
and they'll blame someone else for the wrongs that you did
And now it's obvious
You made the wrong choice
all through your life as expected
So it brings us to a point
we can clearly see
that all the facts were neglected
Well it wasn't really like you ever had a choice
You're too in love with yourself and the sound of your voice
And it's a real shame that we all must end the same
almost makes you think it's an evil game
that we all play wether we want or not
We all play as we all loose and finally rot
in the grand curse, since dawn of time
Somehow it's beautiful, yes sublime
