Lyrics
Treacherous waters make you gamble with life,
And your judgment waits there.
Patterns emerge, from beneath the surface,
Something’s coming up for air.
So many people can’t be wrong,
Read the signs, take notice.
Right now it feels like the dark before the dawn,
But a new order arises.
There’ll be nowhere to run,
There’ll be nowhere to hide,
No place to call your home,
There’ll be nowhere to run,
There’ll be nowhere to hide,
We’ll catch up with you before this is done.
It’s one step forwards, two steps back,
For the people in charge today.
They threaten you with a barrel of a gun,
I say take your aim.
Now’s the time, to change the track,
To change what’s being said.
Coz I don’t wanna live in a world no more,
Being force fed.
Hear the sounds of lives being broken,
As they shatter just like glass.
The prophecies they told you and me,
Were just a farce.
Law and order can’t stand,
When the rules don’t apply to all.
Watch the lies spill out,
Revealing criminals.
It’s one step forwards, two steps back,
For the people in charge today.
The threaten you with a barrel of a gun,
I say take your aim.
It’s the false representation, of your fellow man,
They’ll take away your liberty, sell it on to other hands,
They’ll strip away your dignity, strip you of your rights,
And leave you feeling empty, with fear behind your eyes.
And it’s one step forwards, two steps back,
For the people in charge today.
The threaten you with a barrel of a gun,
But I say take your aim.
Coz now’s the time, to change the track,
To change what’s being said,
Coz I don’t wanna live in a world no more,
I don’t wanna live in a world no more,
No, I don’t wanna live in a world no more,
Being force fed
