The Setting Sun (Demo)

from A Victim's Mentality (Single) by Fold

lyrics

Don't let the sun go down on your humanity.
Don't let the future forget you
and think that you were just too self-obsessed
to look beyond your own immediate concerns in life...

and like those in days of old from a forgotten age
your whole existence can be reduced to the footnote
at the bottom of a forgotten page.
So will oncoming generations mockingly proclaim
with a shocking rage: "Who were these carefree people?
And why didn't they even lift a finger to change?"

Don't let the moon shine a light on your inability to rise
Don't wait until the looming twilight in the sky projects the vulnerability of your times
as you're constantly perplexed by the neglect and fragility of your lives it eclipses the real invincibility in your minds posing the simple question: why?
Why are we killing the potential in our lives?

Don't let the new morning be broken without you
Don't allow the poisoning of the rivers of today
to infect the drops in the oceans of tomorrow that will surround you
in the plants and the trees in the flowers and the seeds
for its a life that's yet to be that delivers us hope for eternity
and while we are still able to consume our daily bread
let us not forget that on this day given
we are indeed the projection in vision of our ancestors' dreams
so what can we then expect our future generations
to reflect on times such as these
if we don't respect them
and we reject them
and we just lay down and accept then
that the sun may finally set
on our humanity
