Jeffrey Martin - What We're Marching Toward

Описание: Share with me scriptures and help me to know
it’s easier to sink than to rise
and the black and white bullets that fly from my mouth
are hand picked, tired old lines

my shoes have worn through from this running around
It’s time to stand still and fight
even the loudest of words will not make a sound
compared to the sound of what’s right

i saw a man on the news tonight
crying for his child in the war
he looked at the camera and asked with his eyes
do we know what we’re marching towards?

in the courts and the halls the dead kings cry out
power is a slow turning wheel
it came around for us and it’ll come round for you
it only gives what it can then steal

the high headed men that built the engine that runs
are cold and dead in the ground
what they built when they lived when they died was undone
except for what’s holding us down

i saw a man on the news tonight
crying for his child in the war
he looked at the camera and asked with his eyes
do we know what we’re marching towards?

choose to believe in a silver tongue dream
or try to rightly see
that the strings you feel at the end of the day
are the same strings pulling on me

if the truth can be beaten and tied to a chair
and made to say whatever we want
then the words that we serve are nothing but ours
and our god is no god after all

i saw a man on the news tonight
crying for his child in the war
he looked at the camera and asked with his eyes
do we know what we’re marching towards?
