The Warning Lyrics

There are things you cannot say they must be sung

There are things that will not pass they must be faced

There are those you cannot please they must be left behind

There are always things you wish that you could find

When the whole world cries out in the same way

When the fear that steals your joy and happiness away

Is something so bad it kills without weapons or bombs

That's the time for us to take heed of the warning

All of us are here until we go

All of us are tied to each other

Either we live until we die

Or we will die never having lived at all

If we keep being the destroyer of all living things

There will be a reckoning that surely will bring pain

The peace of the quiet ones will not fight the evil here

We must find a way to stand against the roar of the greed

Bring your answer to the altar of the faithful

Let them not sacrifice one more truth to the myth

Break the power of the ones who trample on the weak

And let them walk the path that they preach

Before the floods carry us away

Tell a story that speaks to the needs of the many

To the sacred river that flows beneath our feet

Send the demons that threaten us back to the deep
