THE SECRET WAR Lyrics

After a while

The voices quieten

After a time

Some seemingly stop completely

Either that or you've come to learn

How to tune them out

Until the only one you hear now

Is your own

These days I couldn't care less

Who's talking bad about me

Wish them my best

They'll have to chat without me

There's more pressing things

In my world

I'm more invested in

Than men gossiping like girls

With women I'm no longer interested in

I've been onto wiser and better things

There comes a time to grow up

And leave behind the lesser things

Small minds stay small time

And wonder why they never win

All in all, I'm over everything

Like a bird in the sky

Learning to fly again

I've tried and tried

I've been tried and tried

I've been tired

But I've tried again

You come to learn in time

Your only opponent

Is your mind

Time to own it

And make amends

Time to grow

Where you're going shows

It needs no explanation

Time to go

Eyes forward

Focused on the journey

And the destination

Obstacles come

And shall be overcome

That has to be in how you think

An ocean of deep thoughts

Can overwhelm

And throw you off course

And that's how you sink

But a drowning man

Is a desperate man

Never underestimate the tormented

When his back is against the wall

And it's his life or death

A man can get extremely inventive

Summoning things from within

From places he's never been

Bringing forth power and an inner light

That other minds have never seen

Minds that believe in no god

In any faith, form or fraction

And thus believe

There's no consequence to their actions

They rape

They lie

They plunder

They pillage

Then wonder why

The kids set fire to the village

Young ones

Burnt hands

Angry faces covered in soot, blood and tears

Their finest work is far from done

And thus, should be feared

Our soul

Our spirit

Our energy

Never die

There's memory in our DNA

That just won't go away

It keeps transferring

From form to form

Beyond time and space

Once we are, we are

And once it is, it is

And cannot

Be erased
