Unknown

In a modern world A cauldron of destruction Waiting for the world to see As it fails to understand You rise to be seen But you cannot rise if you cannot breathe With every aching blow summon strength from depths Don't hide in the shallows Through a wretched sea of blue Through a never ending trench Witnessing the turn of our time As it burns the soil seeps red When the leaders turn their backs We can only feed our heroes Knowing every pound of a drum on the wind It's no longer just an echo Can we talk about it? Can we take a stone Make it slide, turn and roll So you never have to, never have to be unknown Devoid of any virtue at the heart of the beast Are systems sore beneath the pillars Of empires hidden in ruin, beyond any recognition And soon to be divided by the after-mathmetician But the supposed ordinary people Create chasms in empirical design With freedom, mate-ship and belief For us lucky ones, the fallen do remind Can we talk about it? Can we take a stone Make it slide, turn and roll So you never have to, never have to be unknown At the end from in the shadows A new light shall emerge Beyond this armageddon The stone will sooner turn And the essence will linger on Beyond the old theatres of war But no longer haunt our lives As the nation warms 'Cause we were all too wise to the world To be used for cannon fodder And we were all too young To truly understand Can we talk about it? Can we take a stone Make it slide, turn and roll So you never have to, never have to be unknown Be unknown Be unknown
