[ti:Counting Down The Days] [ar:The Human Abstract] [al:Midheaven] [00:01.21]The Human Abstract - Counting Down The Days [00:12.56] [00:25.73] [01:04.15][00:28.18]Who are you, what have you become? [01:09.19][00:33.16]A charming illusion, a source of confusion. [00:40.06]Another day & you'll win the race, [01:16.15]Another day & you'll find your place: [01:21.11][00:45.10]A charming illusion, a source of confusion. [01:28.11][00:52.23] [01:28.32]Another rise to power, no matter who or when, [01:34.29]And we will know of our freedom never again. [01:40.24]A common thread of distance in the hearts [01:44.64]Of men & we’ll have love for our brothers never again. [01:52.24]We are all the victims of a will to overcome. [02:01.84] [02:10.20]How far we've gone out of touch. [02:26.82][02:14.80]There's no right side of war. [02:22.19]You can't justify it. [02:34.15]To erase away all that we've become, [02:39.89]They can't see we're all one. [02:45.97] [02:46.18]A voice cries from underneath: [02:49.26]Dark shepherds strongly though you wield the staff, [02:52.07]You're weakened by comfort. [02:55.02]There's no way you're prepared for what happens last: [02:58.15]Action, reaction, like an eye for an eye from our tribal days, [03:03.92]The lesser ones demand reaction. [03:06.86]Dare to challenge the one universal law, [03:12.90]Set you up to fall? [03:14.54]Do you understand now why your days are numbered? [03:22.54] [03:22.84]Do you understand? [03:25.24]The course of events were a riddle, a pause in time, [03:34.31]A search for the solution as we stood in line, [03:37.37]Honored our oppressors and paid our fines. [03:40.51]Then all became clear as the ferocity inside began, [03:46.99]To hear the drums of war resound across the land, [04:01.98]Announcing the fate to shed blood upon the earth, it is ours. [04:12.07] [04:12.28]To a system of capitalist politicians, false face of a greater power: [04:15.87]Your empire will fall, bringing about the end of an era. [04:20.03]Warmongers, your bloodlust to conquer turn the moments [04:23.88]Of our lives into a ticking time bomb of your own creation, [04:26.36]Counting down the days, rot in your graves. [04:31.03] [04:42.90]Doomed to repeat our history,there is more than one way [04:54.96]To manifest the possibility of how things could be. [05:06.94]To erase away all we've become, to erase away all that we love. [05:39.80]
