lyrics

Compromised

Standing to the test of time
The story doesn't seem to rhyme
The past holds no more clues
So many questions still remain

It reaches down into your soul
It has a voice of its own
What it’s trying to tell you
What it’s trying to say

I’m looking for the reason
That I’m out of touch
My generation has been crushed

Until the clock strikes the hour
The youth have drained our power
We seemed to have lost our footing
On the ground we've been standing on

Something just isn't right here
Something is just so wrong
We are being led off course
By an unexplained force

I’m looking for the reason
That I’m out of touch
Maybe my generation has been crushed

Our years have been compromised
(By the winds of change)
Our minds have been hypnotized
(With the fear of rage)
Our creativity has been paralyzed
(We are trapped in a cage)
Our freedom has been jeopardized
(We are further enraged)

Standing on the bridge of forgotten memories
Looking down the river of unwanted history
The winds of mortality have arrived at our doorstep
Burning candles melting down fade away

I’m looking for the reason
That I’m out of touch
Maybe my generation has been crushed

Our years have been compromised
(By the winds of change)
Our minds have been hypnotized
(With the fear of rage)
Our creativity has been paralyzed
(With many restrictions)
Our freedom has been jeopardized
(We live without choices)
