Staring Down the Memories

Not so long ago, we were cavemen
Couldn't see the forest for the trees
Thought we'd left the old ways behind us
Hoping we could live in peace

Who really wants to see the future
When we're still living in the past
I thought we put this all behind us
We gotta make sure that we last
We last

Could you take back the gold from Columbus?
Look Genghis Khan in the eyes?
Stand up and fight Alexander?
Staring down the memories
All the possibilities

I can hear an echo in the distance
The whole world going up in flames
And no idea who's behind it
I couldn't name you any names

I'm just a boy on Christmas morning
You know I'd never hurt a fly
I'll put my hands up and surrender
You know I'm not prepared to die
To die

I couldn't take back the gold from Columbus
Look Genghis Khan in the eyes
Stand up and fight Alexander
Staring down the memories
All the possibilities
