Lyrics
They spoke bravely
Expressions of courage were made by others.
It opened our eyes
These expressions led to a realization or enlightenment.
We swallowed their pride
We accepted their dignity or self-respect.
A new era
A new period or phase has begun.
So whee is the new advise
Where is the new guidance or counsel?
It seems the older methods no longer suffice
The traditional methods are no longer effective.
The very oldest if thoughts
The very oldest of ideas or beliefs.
Cast into the mold of these new times
Adapted to fit the mold of the current era.
Vindictive, he raises his fist
Acting out of revenge, someone raises their fist.
The animal is instinctive
The creature's actions are guided by instinct.
Everyone desires peace
Everyone yearns for peace.
But indread of war,
However, the fear of war lingers.
Still arms increase
Despite the desire for peace, the weaponry continues to increase.
Perpetual with only one end
An enduring situation with only one outcome.
When that savage nature destroys them all
When the savage nature of humanity destroys everything.
All is written
Everything is predetermined or destined.
All is forgiven
All mistakes or offenses are pardoned.
All is lived again
Everything is relived or experienced again.
After all, this worthless progress
Despite progress being deemed worthless.
Is progress made for change
Progress is pursued for the sake of change itself.
After all these vain advances
Despite futile advancements, progress persists.
Does that concerned animal value his life?
Does the concerned creature value its life?
Cornered
Trapped or in a difficult situation.
Human nature alive
Human nature remains vibrant or alive.
