Revolution is a Blade (P5T lyrics)

Revolution is a Blade

Lyrics by Jasmine Ikari Webb


Greedy as one can be
Unaware of all the tragedy
Never see what's on the line
Letting it slip through the mind

Hungry to make big change
Oblivious to those out of range
Convinced you are right
Blinded by the light

Visions of leading something worthy
Possibilities waiting high above
Will it ever be enough
Can't forget that not all will be as tough
Know that where you stand is a fallen land
Not anything grand

Is it so hard to pursue
life of solitude off radar
and discard the vanguard

Revolution is a blade
Sacrifices made
Tranquil time betrayed will recur
Only brings you pain
Nothing you would gain
Let go of your vain and suffer no more

Hear the jeopardized
Listen to their cries
Often minimized by louder kind
Aiming to ascend
Breaking more than you mend
Do not dare to pretend it's all fine

Getting the message yet
An ambition is a great threat
Avoid all the needless hurt
Better to remain inert

So stop and turn around
Do not bury your head in the ground
Stand back and be wise
Find other allies

In the end all will meet in one place
Life is not a race to go and transcend
Realise you have got enough
Even without vocations you can laugh
Long as peace prevails over many trails
No grief that entails

Free yourselves from a dream
that is more than it seems
In exchange tie the chain once again

Revolution is a blade
Sacrifices made
Tranquil time betrayed will recur
Only brings you pain
Nothing you would gain
Let go of your vain and suffer no more

Hear the jeopardized
Listen to their cries
Often minimized by louder kind
Aiming to ascend
Breaking more than you mend
Do not dare to pretend it's all fine
