Apogee - The Claws Of Insanity lyrics

So after all this time we have identified a ruling common sense on the problems of mankind Now we agree - not only experts - even public media cry for lasting solutions We feel a pressure building up - arising from all sides on our decision makers from which they cannot hide Even though all the new technologies - so promising - seem far from realisation We take a closer look and discover what we fear a truth so obvious - still no one wants to hear Now we can see the gap that's spreading wide between all our bright ideas and their feasibility in terms of scale and size Oh wonderful democracy, we're begging for relief We were waiting for a change that never came Your splendid institutions all so well arranged with your deficiencies and names Our representatives - always prepared to play catching the wave that came - surfing to the next election Folks demanding answers phrased so straight and clear on complicated questions which they fear Just let your instincts be your guide - hear what your experts say convert to catchy statements and you'll stay International capital is seeking to invest wherever interest rate and opportunity are best Whole national economies relying on belief in potential developments which never may achieve the impacts they're supposed to Trading virtual values in an abstract market place Driving without steering wheel full speed through the haze Commercial schemes became obscure and went out of control a jungle out of chaos - one turn will change the whole system of illusions Ratings going up and down - all measures inefficient Politicians overwhelmed - dynamics overblown Raging cross the panels without rules - into the extremes Players watching helplessly the impacts of their games billions been wasted - now who will pay? Questionable subsidies imposed on local markets distorting fragile balances - impacts unforeseen Pricing balance cracking at the seams - beyond all our means abused by reckless speculators prices are increasing billions been wasted - now who will pay? Into the night / with opened eyes / we're searching for a star to guide us Out of the fear / out of the dark / out of the claws of insanity A common dream / a global scheme / a way to save us from ourselves In the end there'll be no other way to keep our treasures from fading away The ultimate chance there will be - sharing our powers to control our movements on global scale. In the end there'll be no other way to save our future from fading to grey The ultimate chance we face - sharing our powers to control the use of those dangerous tools needed so urgently for the tasks we have to fulfil before dawn
