Ashes Lyrics by Threshold

March of Progress

0

Here we stand and face the world
Renegades of consternation
Innocent in thought and word
Ready for a new sensation
Block up the dam, close up the well to stop it flowing
Your memory is not preferred
For that is not the way we're going

Sliding away from liberty to lethargy we fall
Subsiding again collapsing from the burden of it all

But time after time we believe in better
Never let a chance pass us by
And we're sure we'll never fail to notice
Sign after sign that a change is coming
Time is running out like the tide
But we think we're on a march of progress

From ashes we rise to ashes we fall
We cannot disguise our hand in it all

Here we stand and take the blame
We thought that this could last forever
We turned our backs on God again
But everybody longs for heaven

Sliding away from vision to deficiency we fall
Subsiding again collapsing from the burden of it all

But time after time we believe in better
Never let a chance pass us by
And we're sure we'll never fail to notice
Sign after sign that a change is coming
Time is running out like the tide
But we think we're on a march of progress

It's senseless to justify consensus
Pretensions to cover our pretences
The fences are sitting on the fences
Defenceless to cover our offences
To cover what we've done

Here we stand and face the end
Apathy alive and growing
On independence we depend
But that is not the way we're going

Sliding away from plenty to dependency we fall
Subsiding again collapsing from the burden of it all

But time after time we believe in better
Never let a chance pass us by
And we're sure we'll never fail to notice
Sign after sign that a change is coming
Time is running out like the tide
But we think we're on a march of progress
But we think we're on a march of progress
But we think we're on a march of progress
