[Christian Logue] Nations rise, nations fall by self - determination People live Cultures die, the scythe of progress reaps Forevermore Shattered lives, pave their way to ultimate Salvation The dark of heart feed their fires of passion Burning madly for more war [Chorus:] And the fools take command, to decide how we Live, how we die as they need, on the blind Men lead Destination unknown, who holds the key to Find our destiny [Lead Break] [2nd Verse:] As we race toward the edge of global Self - destruction Will it be our legacy, to leave this world a Future without past Dying lands, born of greed, swell with Starving masses The men whose deeds condemn them all, feed Only their need destroying more [Chorus] [Lead Break] [3rd Verse:] The time to lie, the time to fear have left us Without vision To guide us now, we must somehow let our hearts' Desire light our way [Chorus]
