Right Now

lyrics

Right now we’re losing our legacy.
Right now the new thing is here
(Right now) With cast iron guarantee.
(Right now) There’s nothing to fear.

We turned a sky full of mountains to a plain full of sand;
Put the gods in their places
Took it out of their hands.
The ‘High Engineer’ puts his faith in the track
And we never look on; never look back; never look!

Bright summer’s day
Soothing fragrance on the air
Oh that this scene remains
A static ideal.

Right now we’re grading atrocity
(Right now) redact and reframe.
The past, in all its ferocity,
Just more of the same.

As you beg for an atom of the drug they dispense,
There’s a part of your mind that knows this doesn’t make sense.
All their fake analgesics that you take to correct,
Offer instant relief but leave no lasting effect.
Well you trusted the anchor in a sea full of fears
But the chain came away and we’ve been drifting for years.
The dream’s been diverting but it’s come to an end.
It’s time to get up, get up, get up, get up, get up.

Rose petal bed
Angels murmur languidly
No worries now, my child.
Your burden denied.
