lyrics

We walk this Earth with a chip on our shoulder
Carrying the baggage from the mistakes of our elders
We're mining and chipping for something like diamonds
The elements colliding, to create something Timeless

Our modern day saints are the sinners of old
The fate of the people will never be told
But still we march on to the beat of the drum
To take what we deserve, to take what we've won

The day to day grind that we all must face,
On this Mortal Coil
Has prepared us for our eternal midnight toil
But still, we can't be angry
Oh, but it isn't easy
You tell me all the rules, but still we feel cheated

We walk this Earth not knowing where we're going
All we know is what we have seen before
But we try and try to shake off that pain
But we'll never be able to escape these days
The end is near, but we can't give in to fear
Because there will be, there will be no love
We run and run to escape nature's gun
The war can't be lost, the war can't be won

Roll out of bed, get kicked in the head
I wish I was a baby, I wish I was dead
If it's all a dream, who will comfort me?
Who will wake me up from my endless sleep?

2012 is a marker point, as the wise Mayans knew long ago, as we shift gears and vibrations into a new Era for mankind ... more
