Justice – Civilization
While picking my picks on Pitchfork through their Spring preview of what is about to be released in 2011, I remembered that after the Adidas + Justice hype wore off I hadn’t really heard the track itself. I still haven’t stopped the loop – Civilization has been going on all day climbing quickly in my personal Spring Hot Top. I couldn’t really figure out the lyrics so after I googled them, that’s what came up. There may be some mistakes, but the chorus is correct and truly inspirational. Civilization.
Standing in line as we march to the drums of the east
paralyzed and possessed by crusader’s deceit
lost to the sirens that call from the turbulant tide
bound by the science that lives on the lips of the wisethe beating of a million drums
the fire of a million guns
the mother of a million sons
civilizationstand aside as they bow to the call of the east
tantalized and seduced by the demons relief
dance to the ground by the whim of the merciless sky
born to the fire that burns in the all seeing eyethe beating of a million drums
the fire of a million guns
the mother of a millions sons
