Sanctuary - Future Tense Lyrics
What do you see on the news when you watch T.V.War in the name of God, or a playground killing spreePoliticians promise you the world, and a preacher criesAll he ever wanted was your money, and a ***** on the sideWhat went wrong? Did society twist him?What do you see in the center of the public eyeRock stars on smack, and a serial killer friesRadicals blame suicide and murder on our from of artBrainwash the youth, you know they claim we all play a partWhat a shame that they can't think for themselvesPast tense to future tense let history unfoldSo ends a decade now what will the nineties holdYou know we're verging on the edge of an ageThen another century will turn the pageWhat do you think they will say when they look back on thisWere the eighties just a time of spoiled innocenceWe leave our legacy like dust in the sands of timeLet's hope the seeds we plant can carry the weight of our crimesPast tense to future tense let history unfoldAnd when we're old and gray these stories will be toldYou know we're verging on the edge of an ageThen another century will turn the pageWe sail an ocean, a sea of doubtSkeptics make no sense, can't work things outI'll choose optimism, scream its nameLook to the future, a burning flamePast tense to future tense let history unfoldSo ends a decade now what will the nineties holdYou know we're verging on the edge of an ageThen another century will turn the pageTurn the page.
