'The Horizon'

And the truth isn't hidden in the wisdom of fools
It lies in our leaders who make up the rules
And the lies that you swallow will pass into fact
For once you have followed there's no turning back
Will the history read when it's our turn to go
More pathetic excuses, "we just didn't know" ?

The Horizon is cloudy
There's red in the sky
Going faster and faster
Without asking "Why?"
And our children will pay
For the hell that we raise
When all our tomorrows become
... yesterdays

To the voices of reason we've turned deaf and blind
As we choose to abandon the lessons of Time
But what if what we've been isn't what we'll become?
Turn away from the piper, don't march to the drum
Or belong to the ages with nothing to show
Of the power that comes from the guts to say "NO"

The Horizon is cloudy
There's red in the sky
Going faster and faster
Without asking "Why?"
And our children will pay
For the Hell that we raise
When all our tomorrows become
... yesterdays
