How Far Can We Go? Lyrics

I think of the man in the oven surrounded by licking flames
I think of the modern idols and how many souls they've maimed
Erected like high stone pillars and worshiped by chanting hordes arranged by a madman's scepter to serve under cruel lords
How far can we go
What brought us here?
Can we go?
I think of the X-generation at altars of forgery deceived to bone and marrow and nowhere on earth to flee
We live on the eve of destruction among all fallen stars we watch in the age of seduction the fall of our darkened hearts
Just open your daily papers and headlines will scream out another den in hell that we didn't know about
How much can this world take of guilt from the human race how much will my shoulders carry the day I shall see his face
Stop this dance around the golden calf
Wake from the trance that tears our world apart
Take his hands lay them on your heart
Watch the strain lift like a lark
