We've dressed ourselves in coats and shades
We've marked the fields for laugh and play
We've claimed our fortune
And settled for a resemblance of peace
We've bended steel and things we don't see
We've dug a hole in history
All the monuments and pylons
Got us raised above the continuity
Yet we fall, fall in the rain
It burns, blood in our veins
We slide. try to remain the sameVers 3
This place is perfectly composed
The streets are paved, the dams are closed
And though we fear gods and earthquakes
We build to keep us unexposed
A presence scattered all around
A motion picture with muted sound
We hurt our minds and not our bodies
We bite, but we have ceased to bleed
Yet we fall, fall in the rain
It pulls, blood in our veins
We slide, try to remain sane
Someone left their notes revealed
But they don't speak of cuts and deals
Or how to run this great machineIt's all a puzzle with an extra piece
We stand tall, called to the campaign
While gold, guns & blood run through our veins
We're the pioneers, inventors of our name
Yet we fall, fall in the rain
It drives, blood in our veins
We slide, try to remain humane
