Standards Down Lyrics

So you think our time is over,

Cured the bruises, cleansed the scars,

You have a bunch of broken dreams

You got new names for everything

And a transparent id.



You have the right to call me survivor,

Maybe I am too stuck in the past,

But our generation will pass

And the upcomers will demand

All the time that we gave in.



We still live in the ruins

We still breathe the ashes

We are the few that miss

What we lost in the battle.



And the last flame of reason

Will be hard to blow away.

A certain luminosity,

A simple shine, small victory,

As rudimentary as it seems.



We still live in the ruins

We still breathe the ashes

We are the few remaining as

Hostages of modern times.



Can’t you see that standards are down?

So what is coming next?



We still live in the ruins

We still breathe the ashes

We are the few remaining as

Hostages of modern times.



In the end of this long run,

There is a salesman giving us an answer

Let someone save us now

From emptiness, from nothingness.
