lyrics

UNCOMMON TIMES

These are uncommon times - when worlds collide
and Nations fight for vanity.
These are contagious times when - love divides
and hate inspires insanity.
Infected all around
A million loved ones underground - still rising.
We search for clues in vain and look for
Someone else to blame...

Hold on... Hold on to something...
Hold on to someone...
Hold on to anything at all.

We climb these dizzy heights - only to fall
as sure as night - but
wisdom seems so hard to gain
Must everything be so explained?
We light the fires at night to keep the
Wild beasts out of sight but -
Nothing burns like hell on earth -
Is nothing really what it's worth?

Hold on... Hold on to something...
Hold on to someone...
Hold on to anything at all.

Hold on... Hold on to something...
Hold on to someone...
Hold on to anything at all.
