The Centre Cannot Hold

from A Time of Shadow by Dead Heroes Club

lyrics

Could this be the time?
LET us go then, you and I,
To search for the child,
whatever he brings we’ll crucify.
We live for the money; the money’s red-hot,
We open up ground between the have and have-nots.
21st century: cradle to grave,
money makes money aboard this gravy train.

Here we are - face to face,
No guiding star - in this inhuman race.

Waiting on a life line,
But my lifeblood is running cold.
Everything falls apart,
The centre cannot hold.

What truth can we find
when history covers up its crimes?
By unknown design
we’re still born against the heartless sky
We live for the moment; the moment’s gone by
Things draw to an end so we pray for an afterlife
The 21st century human disease:
eyes to the skies, I’m looking out for me…

Here I am- Face to face
With the also-rans - in this inhuman race.

Waiting on a life line,
But communication’s running cold.
Everything falls apart
The centre cannot hold.
