The Seeker Songtext
I have looked into the future, and I don′t like what I saw
The wreckage of the lives of innocents washed up on the shore
I have looked into the faces of the ones who are to blame
Who sacrifice the lives of others like the pieces of a game
Just as the past has always been, so will be the future unless we intervene
And as we now sow, then so shall we reap
A handful of herdsmen
A nation of sheep I have looked for signs of progress in the things that matter most
I have seen faint signs of justice - as fleeting as a ghost
I have seen the mounds of plenty that are never fairly shared
I've searched the corridors of power trying to find someone who cared
I have looked hard for a reason, but no matter how hard I stare
I′ve had to come to the conclusion that there is no reason there
I've been asking for an answer to the simple question
"Why, if we're so proud of our achievements, are so many condemned to die?"
The wreckage of the lives of innocents washed up on the shore
I have looked into the faces of the ones who are to blame
Who sacrifice the lives of others like the pieces of a game
Just as the past has always been, so will be the future unless we intervene
And as we now sow, then so shall we reap
A handful of herdsmen
A nation of sheep I have looked for signs of progress in the things that matter most
I have seen faint signs of justice - as fleeting as a ghost
I have seen the mounds of plenty that are never fairly shared
I've searched the corridors of power trying to find someone who cared
I have looked hard for a reason, but no matter how hard I stare
I′ve had to come to the conclusion that there is no reason there
I've been asking for an answer to the simple question
"Why, if we're so proud of our achievements, are so many condemned to die?"
