Revolve

​

It's a human thing when fists raise to the sky;

Demanding explanations,  tell us why-

In the moment of the suffering, the spirit loses ground;

and in a shroud of nothingness, faith is drowned-

​

It's nothing we can change,  it's just how we've evolved;

No clues to uncover here,  no mystery to be solved-

​

Live every day as if it were the last;

Embraces lasting longer now;

The goodbyes not so fast-

And all the sons and daughters growing up in this new age

Rise up against the dying of the light, they rage-

​

It's nothing we can change,  it's just how we've evolved;

No clues to uncover here,  no mystery to be solved-

We're satisfied in dissonance,  no progression to resolve;

There's nothing to explain,  the world will still revolve-
