We could say it’s just how it is

and how it always will be

and believe things will never change

as far as we can see

it’s a disaster and it doesn’t matter

well I disagree

a ray of hope remains if we take the reins we’ll arrive eventually



Keep all the lights on in the streets of Babylon

then we’ll just dig for some more

pull back the curtain cuz one things for certain

action speaks louder than war



Look around there’s no time left to stall

(you’ve got to) stand up while you can don’t miss the call



Hold on here we go

where we stop nobody knows

breath and count to five

live while you’re still alive

right before your eyes

your best laid plan up and dies

cleverly disguised

the bounty materialized 



Now we’re moving fast

we’re picking up on speed

we got the energy

creating fast 

as we tunnel deep

& no time to think

here we just react 

to the things

we need 

hold on to your world



Look around there’s no time left to stall

(you’ve got to) stand up while you can don’t miss the call



To live just in your mind

is some kind of crime 

stuck in your station

in isolation 

never too late for beginning

to set your captive free 



Tonight the moment has arrived

to live while we’re still alive 



(wake up and) look around there’s no time left to stall

(you’ve got to) stand up while you can don’t miss the call

(it’s time to) end the debate don’t hesitate this time

(c’mon on and) take a stance don’t miss your chance

to stand up right now!
