Time After Time Last night I woke up to the dawn The same old dream I can never shake I heard the soldiers cry out loud Don't punish us - we are duty bound The lessons we have learnt, once meaningful When will the teacher find his goal? Time after time consistently Throw care to the wind and sail on blind I heard them cry out from the dark The books we burnt and no one writes anymore The rules have changed from hand to hand The father's fathers proved them wrong Once we were thought of wisely Deaf to the warnings Where were you then Filing down the highways - staring ahead Too scared to look beyond the edge The blind lead the blind No one to pull us back in line Marching by us as if they are one Glassy eyes that do not blink Stony stares that do not flinch Vacant dreams are never realised Time after time |
