Album: In This Life

Progress

Into the grey sky
Blackness is blown
From this great machine breathing smoke
Hammering pistons
Churning of gears
Furnace of coals remain stoked
Roar of a turbine
Scream of a jet
Man's dream to learn how to fly
Mimicking nature
Study the wind
Travel on air through the sky
Progress comes from the will to learn
Conquest stems from the greed of man
Can't fuse science with hatred
Can't fuse
Advance not with destruction
Proceed defying corruption
Gain ground keep moving forward
Gain ground
Towering structures
Steel and stone
Built on the land that we kill
Burning our forest
Draining our lakes
Forward progression our will
Splitting the atom
Power to threat
Evil we hold in our hands
Frighten our neighbours
Pointing our guns
Until they reach our demands
Progress comes from the will to learn
Conquest stems from the greed of man
Can't fuse science with nature
Can't fuse
Advance not with destruction
Proceed defying corruption
Gain ground keep moving forward
Gain ground
