"The Art Of Reason" lyrics
"The Art Of Reason"
Can you give me a reason why you shone for a season
Then you turned to deceiving (I don't believe that it's right)
You pretend you can hear us but you won't come near us
Now it's all got serious (I don't believe that it's right)
We thought you'd do your best for future generations
But all you left was a mounting debt (I don't believe that it's right)
We thought your peace could flow like water through the nations
But you shut down the fountainhead (I don't believe that it's right)
Can you give an account now as the truth's coming out now
It's the end of the countdown (I don't believe that it's right)
Now we've lost all our patience with your forced liquidation
Of our land of our nation (I don't believe that it's right)
We thought you'd right the wrongs that others brought upon us
But you sold off our right to choose (I don't believe that it's right)
We thought you'd fight for us but you just fought among us
And you sold off your servitude (I don't believe that it's right)
No more tries and no more chances
No more lies to pass as answers
No more smiles and false relations
No more world indoctrination
Sorry for being angry sorry for being numb
Sorry for all the dreaming I really should have done
I thought that I was blameless I thought that I was safe
I thought that a happy ending would happen anyway
I can't believe we never noticed
I can't believe it took so long
For us to turn around the future
By standing up for what we all believed in all along
It was there right before our eyes we were blind not to realize
In the rush to be globalized we signed away our freedom
We forgot how to criticize we were scared to be demonized
As the truth was neutralized we lost the art of reason
Shallow the crusader and shallow their crusade
But deep the ideology that brings them into play
Political correctness a foil for our minds
A false exoneration to cover up the crimes
I can't believe we never noticed
I can't believe it took so long
For us to turn around the future
By standing up for what we all believed in all along
It was there right before our eyes we were blind not to realize
In the rush to be globalized we signed away our freedom
We forgot how to criticize we were scared to be demonized
As the truth was neutralized we lost the art of reason

Spock's Beard - "On A Perfect Day" From over the mountains
A gathering storm
A vision of empires fading
The wind and the water
The red sky's reborn
We're safe in a garden waiting
Lost in the light of our golden ages
Found in a book...
Savatage - "When The Crowds Are Gone" I don't know where the years have gone
Memories can only last so long
Like faded photographs, forgotten songs
And the things I never knew
When the skin is thin, the heart shows through

Queensryche - "Jet City Woman" Every time I leave
You say you won't be there.
And you're always there.
Every time I cry your name at night,
you pull close and say it's alright.
I look in your eyes, just like the rain.
Washing me,...
Symphony X - "Paradise Lost" In the cold misty morning
gleaming rays awake the dawn
Here I stand - a stranger in this land
does your conscience betray you?
falling from grace -
feel the sun on my face
does desire still hold...
Fates Warning - "One Thousand Fires" So, we begin, a perfect launch a perfect wind
Pictures pave the road ahead
A winding way, a silent dread
Then I see
One thousand fires
Like stars they fill my eyes
One thousand fires
Flames burning...
