Closer To The Truth Lyrics

Strong instinct for survival

 Romantically insane

 Moving soft along the edge of time

 Like a panther in the rain



 Manipulated rebels

 With a total disregard for the rules

 When pride comes tumbling off the great white stallion

 You move closer to the truth



 And the search continues for the meaning

 They build the cathedrals high

 But we keep our weapons ready

 Looming dark against the sky



 They're taking down the rain forest

 Changing it to a room without a view

 And the big trees fall like dominoes

 And we move closer

 The eagle watches from the mountain

 As the warriors turn into fools

 And the dice are thrown on sacred ground

 And they move closer to the truth



 And who's gonna tell the children

 How the rivers used to flow cystal blue

 And we keep leaving scars on Mother Earth

 And moving closer to the truth
