Used Future Songtext
von The Sword

Here we go

Woke up in the future
But nothing shiny and new
The world of tomorrow
Looks battered and abused
Robots riddled with rust
Circuits gathering dust
Waiting, in twilight
For you

This is the new future
Thought it was yours to explore
This is a used future
Feels like we′ve been here before


Lights on the horizon
May not be what they seem
Can't remember a time before now
That doesn′t feel like a dream

The promises of prophets
Are not enough to stop it
The odds are getting narrow
That the target hits the arrow
And no clever resource to survive to deflect it

So hold tight
Baby all night
And in the morning you can look around and see

This is the new future
Thought it was yours to explore
This is a used future
Feels like we've been here before

We're in a used future
Everything around us must fall
It′s just a new suture
On an old wound that cuts through us all
