Mordred

Progress

Mordred


Into the grey sky 
Blackness is blown 
From this great machine breathing smoke 

Hammering pistons 
Churning of gears 
Furnace of coals remain stoked 

Roar of a turbine 
Scream of a jet 
Man's dream to learn how to fly 

Mimicking nature 
Study the wind 
Travel on air through the sky 

Progress comes from the will to learn 
Conquest stems from the greed of man 
Can't fuse science with hatred 
Can't fuse 

Advance not with destruction 
Proceed defying corruption 
Gain ground keep moving forward 
Gain ground 

Towering structures 
Steel and stone 
Built on the land that we kill 

Burning our forest 
Draining our lakes 
Forward progression our will 

Splitting the atom 
Power to threat 
Evil we hold in our hands 

Frighten our neighbours 
Pointing our guns 
Until they reach our demands 

Progress comes from the will to learn 
Conquest stems from the greed of man 
Can't fuse science with nature 
Can't fuse 

Advance not with destruction 
Proceed defying corruption 
Gain ground keep moving forward 
Gain ground
