Counting Down The Days - The Human Abstract

Who are you, and what have you become?

A charming illusion, a source of confusion

Another day and you’ll win the race

A charming illusion, a source of confusion

Who are you, and what have you become?

A charming illusion, a source of confusion

Another day and you’ll find your place

A charming illusion, a source of confusion

Another rise to power, no matter who or when

And we will know of our freedom never again, never again

A common thread of distance in the hearts of men

And we’ll have love for our brothers never again, never again

We are all the victims of a will to overcome

A will to overcome

How far we’ve gone out of touch…

There’s no right side of war, there’s no right side of war

You can’t justify it…

There’s no right side of war, there’s no right side of war

To erase away all that we’ve become

They can’t see we’re all one

A voice cries from underneath

«Dark shepherd, strongly though you wield the staff

You’re weakened by comfort

There’s no way you’re prepared for what happens last.»

Action/reaction, like an eye for an eye from our tribal days

The lesser ones demand reaction

You dare to challenge the one universal law that set you up to fall?

Do you understand now why your days are numbered?

The course of events were a riddle, a pause in time

A search for the conclusion as we stood in line

Honored our oppressors, and paid our fines

Then all became clear as the ferocity inside began

To hear the drums of war resound across the land

Announcing the fate to shed blood upon the earth: it is ours

Doomed to repeat our history

There is more than one path to how things could be

No time to question how, when or why

We simply come together or die

To a system of capitalist politicians, false face of a greater power

Your empire will fall, bringing about the end of an era

Warmongers, your bloodlust to conquer turns the moments of our lives

Into a ticking timebomb before creation

Counting down the days

Rot in your graves

How far we’ve gone out of touch…

There’s no right side of war, there’s no right side of war

You can’t justify it…

There’s no right side of war, there’s no right side of war

To erase away all that we’ve become

To erase away all those we love

There’s no right side of war, there’s no right side of war

Who are you, and what have you become?

A charming illusion, a source of confusion

Another day and you’ll win the race

A charming illusion, a source of confusion

Who are you, and what have you become?

A charming illusion, a source of confusion

Another day and you’ll find your place

A charming illusion, a source of confusion

A will to overcome

How far we’ve gone out of touch…

There’s no right side of war, there’s no right side of war
