"The Business of Living" Lyrics

We need everyone's attention
There are words that must be said
We will never bite our tongues again
Because everything they hold is the greatest lie
And I watch the sun go down over an empty street
But no one of us sleeps tonight
We are the ones who must make a stand
As it all comes down to this
And even though we at times seem helpless
We must always strive forward

On the brightest path I recall your name
Yet the shadows settles in for the very first time
Hands are shaking cold
Heartbeats racing fast
Tonight it's heart and soul versus none
Don't lose hope
This isn't over yet

We are staring at the beginning
We will not stand for the business of our living
Come on and dance away another year of disaster

We need everyone to listen up! to the frailty words that we say
Bring back our fucking strength - pick up yourself
In a word filled with hate
We are the hope!
We are the hope!

We've been sleeping for ages but never once did we dream about this
That the bitter task of disillusion
Is just enough to keep us underneath the surface
Now I can't change my past, but who the fuck are you to predict my future
The shadows we cast define our soul purpose
Therefor our wings must be broken

It's in our hands and we need everyone's attention
That hand in hand we will walk these streets with more pride
And courage than ever before
On the brightest path I recall your name
Yet the shadows settles in for the very first time
Hands are shaking cold.
Heartbeats racing fast
Tonight it's heart and soul versus none
Days like these wont last forever
