No rolling stone
ever brought down a mountain
No troubled water ever
drowned the earth
our setting sun
has yet to set for good
We’re running circles again
The moment arrives
balance breaks down
the walls we made so high
We’ll build again
a castle of sand
against the ocean
Gone, to a place in the world
where they don’t know
THe pressure that grows
Living under a light bulb
The power that lives
In the heart of a cell phone
The war that fuels the fire
and brings the sun a little closer
I'll meet you there
with anyone
who wants to move on
we'll build our lives
in the sunlight
in the place where truth survives
I'll meet you there
when balance comes
and breaks us all down
we'll build again
a castle of sand
against the ocean
This is a call to arms
to anyone who see’s the strings
this is a fine line
between the reality and the dream
this is the front line
from the streets to the prison cells
we are the people
they thought they pacified so well
they made us all
betray ourselves
This is for the lost cause
hidden by steel walls
falling through trap doors
and burning at the borders
and every stone that rolls away
adds itself to an avalanche
those on top have all forgot
that we're the ones that keep them up
it’s coming like a perfect storm
a river of blood and death
within these troubled waters
wash away the borders
and everyone that walks away
adds themselves to the avalanche
those on top have all forgot
that we're the ones that hold them up.
