Summit

Keep walking forward, step in line
Dead inside and anesthetised to thought and pain
We're always watching our footing, treading all so carefully
When conscience is all we can depend on

Separating men from machines in a manufactured world
Where we've all grown numb to self-assessment and self-control
Yet still so quick to judge one another
Crawling back to a finish line
With no reward for our constant strive

We know nothing of sacrifice
No sense of consequence pervades our minds
We've walked this path for far too long
And every day, every day I feel it slip further away
The minutes tick by, and turn to years
And in the morning I'll awake believing nothing new has changed

Except my outlook has turned inside
And now I've seen the fading lights
Grow cold and turn to night
The only warning sign
To cut these worldly ties

We'll align ourselves with the stars
And tell the world we know who we are
Based on reflections in deception's mirror
Anesthetised to thought and pain

We take what we're given, with no second guess
And walk away all the same
We owe no allegiance
Give rise to your own independence
The dawn of a new era
Where lives are valued and not regarded
As commodities for the worst of men

Take my hand
It's no utopian promised land
This will take everything
Seeking light of our own
Breathe in life, breathe in hope
Seeking light of our own
Breathe in life, breathe in hope
Breathe in hope
We've walked this path for far too long
