Decades (V2)

歌詞

Time is like a serpent That devours its own tail The coils grow ever-tighter With each moment it inhales A foreboding sense of deja vú That cannot be ignored It's hard to help but feel We've seen and done this all before History be damned It's only progress we embrace Our eyes closed to the circles That our memories re-trace Arrogance & avarice Distort our field of view A re-run culture takes your past And sells it back to you Decades pass and years go by Days dissolve into the ether Condense like clouds And come raining back down But we are blind to this debris Piling up around our feet Oblivious And it's killing us Fear and loathing paralyze The populace throughout Disengage the rhetoric That brought this all about Overcome and overrun Pretend all this is new Surely we'll be hailed as heroes When this all is through Our memory is short We throw all caution to the wind The story's changed so much We can't recall how it begins Foresight is an absent friend We left in distant days Reflection makes us realize The error of our ways
