lyrics

Engage; the dawning of progression
New age. See if we learned our lesson
Two ways and two different directions
One thing to decide
Skyward can only act as an escape
Forward and find yourself a better way
Answers; no resolution ever came
From wisdom up on high

So take your cross
And your self-destruction
I'll take my mind
Over your instruction
When will the wailing
Of warning sirens
Break through the numb of
Your blessed silence

I see the western sun shining on our flag
It's time to take a side before we're on our backs
And when it's time to die for that which you believe
Will you take a stand or perish on your knees

Quit giving up your freedom to the unknown
Stand up and make a choice of your own
Together we can make things happen, don't you see
Forever waiting for the day your name is called
Brings nothing but impatience
And inaction will kill us all

It's not that we should hate our nation
But these skyscrapers have weak foundations
And if we don't confront the structure
It's our own labors we're buried under

I wanna ask your God a question
Why did he swear off his aggression
Divine forces could stop this suffering
Pray all you want, but your words mean nothing
Would God approve of your jaded selfishness
Does He approve of His fading relevance
Would Jesus Christ sit and watch the wrongs of men
Would Jesus Christ wanna die for us again?

The End of Progress
by mystakin

It's haunting, dark, moody prog rock that alternately makes you want to plan the demise of the human race, bust out the whiskey and party, and go kick someone's ass. Also Mystakin is a great guitarist Single White Infidel
