Cage the Elephant "Lotus" lyrics

Translation to:de

Lotus

Woke before the morning sunI found it tucked beneath the hillsI sat and watched it riseIt hit the sky and burst to flamesThe lotus flower'sGot me thinking bout the way we liveI've got this feelingIt's gonna stop

Driven by religionRunning backwards down a one-way roadA course collision, split decisionTryin' to save your soulManifest DestinyIs just a fancy word for murderI've got this feelingIt's gonna stop

A billion faces running round my headAll got opinions but the don't mean shitKeep dropping bombs until the whole world's deadThey'll said it's all been done and it's all been saidThey'll turn this message into a pop movementA fascist statement, call it politicsYou can mark my words they'll put a spin on itThey'll say it's all been done

Look outside the box my friendYou heart's been dead since who knows whenIt seems we've missed the markLost all hope and given inPack up the suitcaseTake that handkerchief and wipe off your chinThe fear that drives youNeeds to be stopped

A billion faces running round my headAll got opinions but the don't mean shitKeep dropping bombs until the whole world's deadThey'll said it's all been done and it's all been saidThey'll turn our message into a pop movementA fascist statement, call it politicsYou can mark my words they'll put a spin on itThey'll say it's all been done

Fell into a dazeAnd found my mind was gone and laid to wasteA battle ground indeedWhere holy wars have taken placeI saw the sun set, watched it travel downAnd tear through the groundThe hate the drives usNeeds to be stopped
