Intro
Verse
1)
For the first two lines of the verse strum the chords w/out distortion
In the 2nd part strike each chord rapidly 5 times w/ distortion
Do you know the cost of future misery?
Have you lost your sense of sustainability?
We are just a step away from realizing what we strive to be
But we've got to break out from this insulated blind and lame senility
Verse
2) played like Verse(1)
Laurels, human triumph bestowments from the past
Victories don't mean a thing if they don't last
We are just marching towards extinction with blinders on our eyes
Jeopardizing everything we've learned and come to realize
You call that wise?
Verse
3) played like the 2nd part of Verse(1)
You can live in staunch denial and mark me as your enemy
But I'm just a voice amongst the throng who want a brighter destiny
They say with me

We don't have to be afraid to re-invent
We've got to start to build, progress and implement
For when we take our fill and never pay the price
We only build ourselves a fleeting, false paradise
