Lyrics
Closer To The Truth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Strong instinct for survival
Romantically insane
Moving soft along the edge of time
Like a panther in the rain
Manipulated rebels
With a total disregard for the rules
When pride comes tumbling off the great white stallion
You move closer to the truth
And the search continues for the meaning
They build the cathedrals high
But we keep our weapons ready
Looming dark against the sky
They're taking down the rain forest
Changing it to a room without a view
And the big trees fall like dominoes
And we move closer
The eagle watches from the mountain
As the warriors turn into fools
And the dice are thrown on sacred ground
And they move closer to the truth
And who's gonna tell the children
How the rivers used to flow cystal blue
And we keep leaving scars on Mother Earth
And moving closer to the truth
