Time Continent

Was there a time that we knew peace
When all the children had a place to sleep?
Rhetoric was not enoughWas there a time we weren't at war
When we knew what our hearts and hands were for?
I don't believe there ever wasIt's always been a lie, a soothing lullaby
We'll soon be swallowed by the seaWas there a time we looked around
Do we really even want to know what's going down?
Well, I think no one really doesWe'd rather close our eyes, sing soothing lullaby
We'll soon be swallowed by the seaThe water's rising now and we will surely drown
If we don't turn around
