Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Restless is dawn as it wanders the farm house

A new day awaits though he’s worked through the night

Patiently planting his thoughts on the pages

Under the mumble of kerosene light

Off to the West you can feel it coming

A thick, steel vein for a river of power

Carelessly turning the earth into wasteland

As thousands of years disappear in an hour

Hold your ground on the wrong side of the plough

They’re closer now to a cold, black, broken line

Hold your ground when they come to cut you down

They’re closer now to the rock that breaks the tines

Can’t see what you do from back in the boardroom

Faceless equations of profit and cost

They wave you away like a fly on the radar

But keep coming back and you’ll throw them off course

Though it’s always been this way

Doesn’t mean that it’s your fate

But you know it takes the

Strength of heart and mind

And the faith someday the world will see your side

Nothing is lost if you give yourself wholly

Nothing is gained if you keep it inside
