Better Days Songtext
von Iluvatar

We′re closer to the future, I can see the path we're on
We′re not kings controlling castles, we're on the sorry line of pawns
I feel the stinging retribution of short-sighted legacy
If we don't change it fast and make it last, we may just cease to be

Cuddling in our hovels, staring at our TV sets
We do not mourn our lost humanity, how soon we do forget
We celebrate our situation, making lethargy our creed
Sing complacency as anthem, and forgot the things we need

And it′s always just a dream
Living in better days
No, it′s not always as it seems
Living in better days

Are you feeling it come over?
Well, I got a thing to say about that

There's an angry list I know
Why can′t they look at their ways?
Well, it seems to me and me all one day


Search the skies for some redemption, but it never seems to come
We could stare up there forever, but we'd only see the sun
There′s no benevolent messiah coming to deliver us
We must relieve ourselves and then ourselves are withered into dust

Think of what a god would want, who could create all this?
Would he want us to surpass and pass, or merely to exist?
I can't conceive our evolution culminating into faith
We can buy our absolution at some ritual debate

And it′s always just a dream
Living in better days
No, it's not always as it seems
Living in better days

Are you feeling it come over?
You know, I got a thing to say about that

It's much easier to cover
They won′t come walking my way
Believing in everything may help
If I could just slowly change the way you are
And stare back at the shimmering blade

Blade
The shimmering blade


Nature knows no swell
The consequence of decisions
I′m not a prophet

I just walk to the beat of a different drum
I always see with the light of promise overhead

The second of hope I know
We may just find a way
We forget to seize the moment then
We only hope to change the way you are
Then you have only a little pain
May just find better days
