Was there a time that we know peace;
when all the children had a place to sleep
when rhetoric was not enough?

Was there a time we weren´t at war
When we knew what our hearts and hands were for?
I don´t believe there ever was.

It´s always been a lie,
a soothing lullaby
We´ll soon be swallowed by the sea

Was there a time we looked around,
and do we really even want to know what´s going down
Well I think no one really does

We´d rather close our eyes
sing soothing lullabies
We´ll soon be swallowed by the sea

The water´s rising now
and we will surely drown
if we don´t turn around
