Threshold - Ashes lyrics

Here we stand and face the world Renegades of consternation Innocent in thought and word Ready for a new sensation Block up the dam, close up the well to stop it flowing Your memory is not preferred For that is not the way we're going Sliding away from liberty to lethargy we fall Subsiding again collapsing from the burden of it all But time after time we believe in better Never let a chance pa** us by And we're sure we'll never fail to notice Sign after sign that a change is coming Time is running out like the tide But we think we're on a march of progress From ashes we rise to ashes we fall We cannot disguise our hand in it all Here we stand and take the blame We thought that this could last forever We turned our backs on God again But everybody longs for heaven Sliding away from vision to deficiency we fall Subsiding again collapsing from the burden of it all But time after time we believe in better Never let a chance pa** us by And we're sure we'll never fail to notice Sign after sign that a change is coming Time is running out like the tide But we think we're on a march of progress It's senseless to justify consensus Pretensions to cover our pretences The fences are sitting on the fences Defenceless to cover our offences To cover what we've done Here we stand and face the end Apathy alive and growing On independence we depend But that is not the way we're going Sliding away from plenty to dependency we fall Subsiding again collapsing from the burden of it all But time after time we believe in better Never let a chance pa** us by And we're sure we'll never fail to notice Sign after sign that a change is coming Time is running out like the tide But we think we're on a march of progress But we think we're on a march of progress But we think we're on a march of progress
