Spirit Of Survival - Yes

In this world the gods have lost their way

Can’t keep this picture from out of my mind

This fear hand in hand crossing innocence, time

Surrounding creation they caught in a trap

The youngest offenders will witness confusion

They driving so fast not a care in the end

Escaping collision every twist every bend

When you’re young invincible nothing to lose

Keep seeing this picture standing in a circle

The gods have forgotten to switch on the light

Who’s lost in the dark will crash in the night

These lessons we’re living the lies of the day

Expect them to honor and never disobey

Yet greed is controlling the elders display

No wonder the younger look at them in shame

The spirit of survival

Who’s teaching the hatred

The spirit of survival

Or the class of your school

The spirit of survival

The color of your money

We’re standing in a circle

We don’t understand at all

They don’t understand at all

In this world I truly do believe there is a safer place

In this world I truly do believe there is a safer place

The younger the older the wiser become

Recover misfortune this true life as one

Our genius is shining the past has all gone

What’s left is the clearest perception of one

The spirit of survival

To magnify the power

The spirit of survival

To magnify the soul

The spirit of survival

To magnify the love

We’re standing in a circle

We don’t understand at all

We don’t understand at all

In this world the gods have lost their way

In this world the gods have lost their way
