Lyrics
These are times where severed heads prevail
These are tumultuous times where extreme viewpoints dominate.
Some days all logic seems to fail
On certain days, rational thinking appears to break down.
Looking back, can't see the past
Reflecting on the past is challenging, possibly due to the chaos of the present.
Common sense fading too fast
Common sense is diminishing rapidly.
The enemies of reason blast
Forces opposing rationality are vehemently attacking.
Slowly we inch
A gradual, possibly reluctant, progression.
Drowned by water thought
Overwhelmed by thoughts that hinder clear thinking.
These are times to speak the truth you see
These times demand honesty and openness.
When distorted speech destroys the free
Distorted communication jeopardizes freedom.
Cretin armies don't know the past
Ignorant groups are oblivious to historical knowledge.
Decent thought fading too fast
Profound thinking is disappearing rapidly.
The enemies of reason blast
Forces against reason continue their aggressive onslaught.
The battle of ideas goes on, it's relentless
The ongoing struggle of conflicting ideas is unyielding and persistent.
It happens in the trenches
This conflict occurs in the midst of difficulties and challenges.
And no way to win the battle of ideas
There seems to be no clear way to triumph in the battle of ideas.
If everyone decides to leave it to someone else
If everyone opts to avoid the struggle, the battle of ideas cannot be won.
To fight it
Leaving the responsibility to others hinders the fight for rationality.
