[Verse 1]
Searching each day for the answers
Watching our hopes disappear
Set on a course for disaster
Living our lives in fear
Our leaders leave us in confusion
For them there's only one solution

[Verse 2]
Caught in the fight for survival
Trapped with our backs to the wall
Are we just lambs to the slaughter
Who wait for the axe to fall?
Our world is headed for destruction
Our fate is in the hands of fools

[Chorus]
Shadows of the past
Victims of the future
How long will it last?
Victims of the future

[Verse 3]
Into the verbal arena
Armed with the lies that they tell
They're fighting for world domination
Backed by the weapons of hell
Is there no end to all this madness?
Is there no hope for us at all?
[Chorus]
Shadows of the past
Victims of the future
How long will it last?
Victims of the future

[Chorus]
Shadows of the past
Victims of the future
How long will it last?
Victims of the future
Yeah

[Chorus]
Shadows of the past
Victims of the future
How long will it last?
Victims of the future

[Chorus]
Shadows of the past
Victims of the future
How long will it last?
Victims of the future

[Outro]
Victims of the future
Victims of the future
Victims of the future
Victims of the future
Yeah
