Ashbreather - On the Shoulders of Giants Lyrics

I can't say I'm not impressed
By everything we have created
But these wonders fade over time
They have left me jaded
Standing on shoulders of giants
But we are the ones who bear their weight
Of knowledge and innovation
The pressure we're under is far too great

Maybe in time we'll see that
There was no other way we could proceed
And pardon me, but I
Honestly don't know what else could be

Holding a torch to the darkness
And taking a step into the void
Knowingly we are building a
future that we will not live to enjoy
And all for a cause that is nought
For everything slips out from our hands
One day when no man expects it
Of course this was never what we had planned

But there is not one man to blame
Ambition is all just a part of the game
We might drive ourselves to the grave
But I still believe there's a chance to be saved

As countless lies are told and silky webs are spun
The hills have eyes and every hand a gun
Idle are the weak, bridled do they speak
Tidal is the wave as it crashes on the beach

Standing on shoulders of giants
Standing on shoulders of giants we are
