Lost Continent Songtext

von Thrice

Was there a time that we knew peace;
When all the children had a place to sleep;
When rhetoric was not enough?

Was there a time we weren't at war;
When we knew what our hearts and hands were for?
I don't believe there ever was.

It's always been a lie,
A soothing lullaby;
We'll soon be swallowed by the sea.

Was there a time we looked around,
And do we really even want to know what's going down?
Well I think no one really does.

We'd rather close our eyes;
Sing soothing lullabies.

It's always been a lie,
A soothing lullaby;
We'll soon be swallowed by the sea.

The water's rising now;
And we will surely drown,
If we don't turn around
