Liberty Complacency Dependency Lyrics

"It never ceases to surprise me
at the infinite capacity of the human mind
to resist the introduction of useful knowledge."

There's a dead sky rising on the dark horizon
with the reason and the rhyme of a hurricane
There's an empire falling and a future calling
as the seasons and the times move on again
Do we find solutions in a constitution?
Has the reason we designed it gone away?
Do we find repentance to suspend our sentence?
Because the seasons and the times don't want to wait

Once there was a city left to ruin, alone and broken down
The walls that once gave shelter are levelled to the ground
Powerless to cope, for there was no one left to trust
Nothing there to hope for
when your dreams have turned to dust
The kings are in the counting house
They're counting up their prize,
but all that they've accounted
is the sum of their demise

Won't be moved by what I see
(Anger, fear, and jealousy)
Losing hold of liberty
(Complacency to apathy)
Running wild on make believe
(A panacea to legacy)
Watch it flow from liberty
(To apathy, dependency)

Once there was a city from the ashes arising up with faith
So eager as she rushes to make the same mistakes
Our fine veneer of progress only covers us so far
It only takes a crisis to reveal the way we are
The kings are in counting house
to borrow from their foes
The debts are only mounting
That's the way the money goes

Won't be moved by what I see
(Anger, fear, and jealousy)
Losing hold of liberty
(Complacency to apathy)
Running wild on make believe
(A panacea to legacy)
Watch it flow from liberty
(To apathy, dependency)
(x2)
(Won't be moved by what I see)
(Losing hold of liberty)
(Running wild on make believe)
(Watch it flow from liberty)
