Here are the lyrics from Sanity. Its a new song that will be featured on Above The Ground.

OH...SANITY...HUMANITY
DID YOU TAKE A STEP BACKWARD
WERE YOU MISSING IN ACTION...TEMPORARILY...
OH...SANITY...HUMANITY
WON'T YOU TAKE A STEP FORWARD
COME BACK FOR YOUR CROWN
AND STOP ALL THIS THAT'S GOIN' DOWN...

I REMEMBER NOT TOO LONG AGO
I COULD WALK THE STREETS UNAFRAID NO MATTER WHERE I'D GO
NOWADAYS IT SEEMS, THE WAY IT ALL STANDS,
IS IF I'M WALKIN' I'M TAKIN' MY LIFE IN MY HANDS...
I REMEMBER WHEN OLD PEOPLE WERE COOL
NEVER HIT UPON, MOCKED, MAIMED OR RIDICULED
THERE'S YOUNG FOLKS TERRIFIED NOW, ALL THE TIME...
TOO MANY CRYIN'...THERE'S TOO MANY DYIN'....

SANITY...HUMANITY...
DID YOU TAKE A VACATION
WERE YOU MISSING IN ACTION...TEMPORARILY...
OH...SANITY...HUMANITY
WON'T YOU TAKE A STEP FORWARD
COME BACK FOR YOUR CROWN
STOP ALL THIS THAT'S GOIN' DOWN...

HATE YOUR NEIGHBOURS AND CHEAT YOUR FREINDS
THERE'S NO REGARD FOR THE WAY IT ENDS
LIFE IS SO PRECIOUS YET IT'S BARTERED SO CHEAP
IS THERE ANY DIGNITY AT ALL TO KEEP...
NOT TOO LONG IN THE DISTANT PAST
I HAD SOME VALUES I THOUGHT MIGHT LAST
BUT ASHES LIKE DUST ARE ALL THAT'S LEFT OF THE COALS
THE FLAMES WERE THE CRIES OF A BILLION SOULS

SANITY...HUMANITY...
DID YOU TAKE A STEP BACKWARD
WERE YOU MISSING IN ACTION...TEMPORARILY...
OH...SANITY...HUMANITY...
WON'T YOU TAKE A STEP FORWARD
COME BACK FOR YOUR CROWN
STOP ALL THIS THAT'S GOIN' DOWN...

I FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY
THERE WERE SCORES AND SCORES OF SCORES TO SETTLE
I WAS FIGHTING WITH THE WRITING ON THE WALL...
