The Cyberobots - Will We Learn? Lyrics

We've taken all the green left it dry
Traded roots for shadows in the sky
The rivers used to sing but now they're still
We drained their voices chased the thrill

Our hands held fire burned it all down
Built cities where silence used to sound
Now the earth whispers faint and slow
Telling us there's nowhere left to go

We rise in the dust we've spun
Chasing the stars nowhere to run
Will we find a place to start again
Or bring the same story to the end?

Will we learn out there in the black?
Far from the home we can't bring back
Building new walls in the silent skies
Hoping for change but repeating lies
As we leave with shadows in our eyes
Will we be free or still hypnotized?

The soil no longer knows our name
We drained its blood and took no blame
Now the stars call with distant light
Promising peace out of our sight

But will we write the same old song
Fighting for more where we don't belong?
Or find a way to heal to mend
To live in balance to make amends?

We rise in the dust we've spun
Chasing the stars nowhere to run
Will we find a place to start again
Or bring the same story to the end?

Will we learn out there in the black?
Far from the home we can't bring back
Building new walls in the silent skies
Hoping for change but repeating lies
As we leave with shadows in our eyes
Will we be free or still hypnotized?

The stars don't care for what we've lost
They're indifferent to the cost
We carry the weight of what we've done
But maybe out there we'll finally run

Will we learn out there in the black?
Far from the home we can't bring back
Building new walls in the silent skies
Hoping for change but repeating lies
As we leave with shadows in our eyes
Will we be free or still hypnotized?

We'll rise again out in the cold
New lands to break new tales to mold
But can we change or will we find
We're still the same just out of time?
