KIV Orchestra - This Is Not Tradition

Practical invasion of disputed territories Taking land and livestock, occupy the mental quarries Invasion in the name of distant system of belief By information, products, soldier, covert action, thief Empty room, empty seat, empty glass, empty hours Why are we here singing anthems in the name of cowards Containing nothing, being nothing, nothing to define Empty house, empty stomach, empty chest, empty mind This is not tradition My ancestors weren't there This is not tradition What you say won't make me care There is no tradition We're all wasting time There is no tradition There is nothing to define Enclosure, a container, as in a box, as in a room As in an idea signaling the impending doom Far west, near east, everything we couldn't reach The walls insides our minds, the prisons that we teach Empty room, empty seat, empty glass, empty hours Why are we here singing anthems in the name of cowards Containing nothing, being nothing, nothing to define Empty house, empty stomach, empty chest, empty mind This is not tradition My ancestors weren't there This is not tradition What you say won't make me care There is no tradition We're all wasting time There is no tradition There is nothing to define The moral of the story is that it's good To forget about things or at least you could When the past is forgotten and the future is too You won't have a clue about what to do
