lyrics

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-mathematician

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
