Threshold - The Art of Reason

Band: Threshold
Song: The Art of Reason
Album: Subsurface

Lyrics:

can you give me a reason why you shone for a season
then you turned to deceiving (i don't believe that it's right)
you pretend you can hear us but you won't come near us
now it's all got serious (i don't believe that it's right)

we thought you'd do your best for future generations
but all you left was a mounting debt (i don't believe that it's right)
we thought your peace could flow like water through the nations
but you shut down the fountainhead (i don't believe that it's right)

can you give an account now as the truth's coming out now
it's the end of the countdown (i don't believe that it's right)
now we've lost all our patience with your forced liquidation
of our land of our nation (i don't believe that it's right)

we thought you'd right the wrongs that others brought upon us
but you sold off our right to choose (i don't believe that it's right)
we thought you'd fight for us but you just fought among us
and you sold off your servitude (i don't believe that it's right)

no more tries and no more chances
no more lies to pass as answers
no more smiles and false relations
no more world indoctrination

sorry for being angry sorry for being numb
sorry for all the dreaming i really should have done
i thought that i was blameless i thought that i was safe
i thought that a happy ending would happen anyway

i can't believe we never noticed
i can't believe it took so long
for us to turn around the future
by standing up for what we all believed in all along

it was there right before our eyes we were blind not to realise
in the rush to be globalised we signed away our freedom
we forgot how to criticise we were scared to be demonised
as the truth was neutralised we lost the art of reason

shallow the crusader and shallow their crusade
but deep the ideology that brings them into play
political correctness a foil for our minds
a false exoneration to cover up the crimes

i can't believe we never noticed
i can't believe it took so long
for us to turn around the future
by standing up for what we all believed in all along

it was there right before our eyes we were blind not to realise
in the rush to be globalised we signed away our freedom
we forgot how to criticise we were scared to be demonised
as the truth was neutralised we lost the art of reason

Five stars  great music and lyric. Maybe lyrics with a touch of conscience are the reason wath they are not more popular

[Ap0calypseCreator]

Yeah, maybe... probably most people cannot understand the beauty of the lyrics and lyrics can make or break a song.

I can't stop listening to this song :) really amazing

[Ap0calypseCreator]

Yeah... Threshold is an underestimated band...

I love this song, it's a pitty not much people know it...

[ButtrfliesHurricanes]

This is really good.. I am surprised they are not more popular.. The lyrics are fantastic.

Thanks for uploading..

I love this song, too. Mostly because of the lyrics, as I just feel so much connected to most of the lines in this song... I don't want to go into detail, for the very reason is given away in the lyrics ("...scared to be demonised").

[Meteorotaki]

I don't believe that it's right !

[Moonspellik]

Very nice voice



[drevilrodrigues]

I love this lyrics, they are caustic in so many ways, shows all the truth many don't wnat to hear.... with these one, opium, mission profile and some others, and there would be an excellent world problems exposition, mainly corruption, false dreammakers, and so on. Almost anyone can make their own interpretation. But a few bands can make this kind of critic with so less parciallity. How much I hear Threshold the more I have them as a personal reference, not only as a musical band.

Cheers to all

@PopupHasser What's going on in Europe? In France, first they said they didn't want unqualified immigration, but wanted to encourage qualified immigration, and I agreed. Now they say that they want to reduce qualified immigration by half and engineers coming from the best schools of Paris have their working permits refused after getting jobs with big companies? This is not the solution to the problem (unemployment), it's the tail the wagging the dog...

[darfunkelidas]

Is it just my idea or is this their way of saying "Enoch Powell was right?"

[Proggydan]

Rest in Peace Andrew McDermott you'll be missed
