Last night I woke up to the dawn
The same old dream I can never shake
I heard the soldiers cry out loud
Don't punish us - we are duty bound
The lessons we have learnt, once meaningful
When will the teacher find his goal?

Time after time consistently
Throw care to the wind and sail on blind

I heard them cry out from the dark
The books we burnt and no one writes anymore
The rules have changed from hand to hand
The father's fathers proved them wrong

Once we were thought of wisely
Deaf to the warnings

Where were you then
Filing down the highways - staring ahead
Too scared to look beyond the edge

The blind lead the blind
No one to pull us back in line
Marching by us as if they are one
Glassy eyes that do not blink
Stony stares that do not flinch
Vacant dreams are never realised

Time after time
