Some things never change

Withered wood and cracks in concrete faded
Lonely old leviathans corrode
Labyrinth of lights and life degraded
Vivid highways slump to riven roads

And ever and on we go
Never to learn or grow
Pillars of peace estranged
I guess some things never change
We fall, we fall again
Stare through empty window panes
We fall, we fall again
I guess some things never change

Sterile soil will harden
Wasted world my garden

Beacons of the past on each horizon
Weary feet tread stories in the dust
Havens hard, no steel can crack the diamonds
Hope among the ruin and the rust

And ever and on we run
Purest of rains they come
Pillars of peace estranged
I guess some things never change
We fall, we fall again
Stare through empty window panes
We fall, we fall again
I guess some things never change

Sterile soil will harden
Wasted world my garden
