No freedom for the man

With the button in his hand

He will end up standing alone



And on the day after

All hell breaks loose

The battle will be fought

With stick and stone



The beast has our backs

Against the wall

And the power to devour

One and all



Man must reach a higher

Plain for his world to remain



From this day forward

We must only look ahead

Tomorrow's dreams

May beome peace at last



Reality is hard to face

Til everything is lost

There can be no more

Living in the past



The beast has our backs

Against the wall

And the power to devour

One and all



We create our own destiny



Technology has come at last

Will it bring destruction from the past

Now will all this wealth

And knowledge ever shield us from the flame



History tells in grim detail

Of mans inhumanity to man

In search of worldly treasure and to rule



Savage wars raged on and on

As though there was a plan

But battle is the religion of the fool

The beast has our backs

Against the wall

And the power to devour

One and all



Man must reach

That higher plain

For his World to remain
