lyrics

Oh land of hope
Oh man of peace
Oh world of woe
And lost sheep
I pray the Lord
Our souls to keep
But if I die
Please let me sleep
In marble tombs
And catacombs
In splendid rooms
In broken homes
I've got a secret
I've heard the call
I've got a word
For one and all
Here is the future
Here is the past
And here's the answer
It's your's at last
Do you feel indifferent?
Are you feeling fine?
Do you feel indifferent?
Are we wasting time?

Emotion, in motion
Differences in devotion
Like fissures made oceans
Interpretation split open
From the high rise in the skyline
To those that feel so hopeless
The future's where our hope is
The past is where we broke it
Now we feel indifferent
Even when we're feeling fine
Now we call it progress
Even when we're in rewind
There's value in reflection
But an evil inside pride
As symobls of deflection
Try to swim as they fly

Oh land of hope
Oh man of peace
How do you cope?
Have you found release?
Is it all too much
Too much to take?
Will you need a crutch
When your spirit breaks?
And let me ask you
Please answer clear
Did your plans fall through
All those wasted years?
If there's repentance
At the end of it
You must face your sentence
No throwing fits
The dice are loaded
The game is rigged
Trust has corroded
Down with the pigs
No more indifference
I'm in my prime
No more indifference
No more wasting time

Emotion, in motion
We're floatin', not hopeless
When waves crash, ideas clash
Don't drown or lose your focus
