How Long
Unveiling Deceit: The Struggle for Freedom in 'How Long'
Lyrics
I thought that you would know they can't be trusted
I believed you were aware that they cannot be relied upon.
Their gaze not so easily adjusted
Their focus is not easily changed or influenced.
They're taking what they want from you and I
They are taking whatever they desire from both you and me.
And we're wearing thin
We are becoming weak or exhausted in dealing with this situation.
Following your every move and thought they
Observing your every action, and they want you to believe you are free, but you are not.
All want you to believe you're free you're not
We are living in a world where they are suffocating or suppressing.
As we're living in a world they're strangling
It's becoming intolerable or thin.
And it’s wearing thin
This situation is becoming intolerable or thin.
How long
For what duration?
How long
-How long
-How long
-How long
-Can we hold on?
How much longer can we endure?
How long
For what duration?
Stand strong
Remain steadfast.
They thought that we would follow them and line up
They believed we would comply and join their ranks.
But now they lock their door from us who rise up
Now they are isolating themselves from those who rebel.
To where they think they stand above us all
They believe they are superior to all of us.
Ivory towers will fall
Their positions of power and privilege will collapse.
We're running out of time the clocks all countdown
We are running out of time; all the clocks are ticking down.
As everything piles up its hard to not drown
As challenges and problems accumulate, it's challenging not to be overwhelmed.
Stand strong against the waves of desperation
Remain strong in the face of waves of despair.
And hear the call
Listen to the call or message.
How long
For what duration?
How long
-How long
-How long
-How long
-Can we hold on?
How much longer can we endure?
How long
For what duration?
Stand strong
Remain steadfast.
I thought that you would know they can't be trusted
I believed you were aware that they cannot be relied upon.
Their gaze not so easily adjusted
Their focus is not easily changed or influenced.
They're taking what they want from you and I
They are taking whatever they desire from both you and me.
And we're wearing thin
We are becoming weak or exhausted in dealing with this situation.
And as we take them down their lies are drowned out
As we bring them down, their lies are overwhelmed or silenced.
There's nowhere left to run no lives to sell out
There is nowhere left to escape, and they have no more lies to sell.
Our gaze locked on to you steady, fixated
Our gaze is firmly fixed on you, steady and intensely focused.
Infuriated
We are intensely angered or enraged.
