Counterbalance - Wise Old Man Lyrics




Chasing the dream
Despite passing your prime
You believe it's all downhill from here.
You deny the reality
The harsh realization
You are the product of so many years
Now is the time so
Go get it
No more excuses
The time of your life is right here

Right here in this moment
This time has approached you
And you've been fighting to get here so far
The enemy's inside you
And it shuts all the doors
But will you bow down anymore?
Go grab it
Fight it to death
And know what it is, what it is

Raise your hand
You wise old man
Youth is fleeting impression

Raise your head
Before you're dead
Life is a finite succession

Burn it down
Burn it down

Burn down this image and impression of loss
Burn down all that has caged you
You don't need these scenes or these
Childish dreams
You don't need this vision that blinds you.

Forget what you know
It has all been a lie
It has all been forged and imagined
Burn it all down
And trust what you've found
And value all that which has been
Burn down the dream
Burn down the lie
Of all that which has enslaved you
Burn down the trees that have grown in the field
And now...
Burn down the home

Let it all go and now...
Burn down the home

Raise your hands
You wise old man
Your youth has given you knowledge

Raise your head
Acknowledge the dead
And praise the life that you salvage

One chance at life
And ready to fight

Six feet above, and not yet below
While you walk this earth you have to know

There is hope

Burn it down
Burn it down

You've been what you've been
And now you are-
What-
You-
Are-

Wise old man.

Burn it down
Wise old man

Accept-
What you are-
In this moment-
Of grief
Accept-
What you are-
And murder-
The beast

Live forever

Wise old man
