Was there a time that we knew peace? When all the children had a place to sleep? When rhetoric was not enough? Was there a time we weren't at war? When we knew what our hearts and hands were for? I don't believe there ever was It's always been a lie, a soothing lullaby We'll soon be swallowed by sea
Was there a time we looked around? And do we really even want to know what's going down? Well I think no one really does We'd rather close our eyes Sing soothing lullabies We'll soon be swallowed the sea The water's rising now And we will surely drown If we don't turn around
