Lyrics Echoes Of The Spirit - The Human Abstract

Echoes Of The Spirit

Until you’re ready to break, until you’re ready to bend… critical condition,
critical
Until you’re ready to break, until you’re ready to bend
The years will wear down every brick you lay
There’s more to life than selling your days
Money makes sense in the world today, they say
I’m not living that way, I’m not living that way
Setting off, setting off their alarms, because I’ve got a voice of my own
I won’t be a product on the industry line
You stand for nothing or you stand alone
Leave it to us to cross the final line
Can you feel the dawning of our time?
Take a moment to turn and see the signs
Can you feel the dawning of our time?
It’s time to wake up and turn the light on, come on
Can you feel the dawning of our time?
Turn the light on…
Setting off, setting off their alarms, because I’ve got a voice of my own
I won’t be a product on the industry line
You stand for nothing or you stand alone
Until you’re ready to break, until you’re ready to bend… critical condition,
critical.
x3
Setting off, setting off their alarms, because I’ve got a voice of my own
I won’t be a product on the industry line
You stand for nothing or you stand alone
Pitiful, doing what you’re told
You stand on the watchtower here in our last hour
And say that you know, typical of those that will never see
Say that you know… typical of those that will never be free
Just like that, they took our strongest years in the name of greed
Just like that, made commercials out of our broken dreams
As pitch black from factory stacks turns all the world’s beautiful colors to
gray
Empower the rights they can’t take away: Raise your voices
Echoes of the spirit, echoes of the spirit, resounding in tones that set you
free
Shout with me, we are awake!
Setting off, setting off their alarms, because I’ve got a voice of my own
I won’t be a product on the industry line
You stand for nothing or you stand alone
Critical condition, critical… figured it out because we’ve all been here
before
Critical condition, critical condition… we’ve all been here before
