This human incompetence and its consequence,
|
Sub-human intolerance hitting home.
|
This stupid, old prejudice and its consequence;
|
civilian rights are not right for all deserve rights, large and small.
|
|
Rise and fall..
|
each breath could be the last
|
chances have all come and passed.
|
|
Why can't we just shake the urge to end everything?
|
Property lines slice through the Earth.
|
The sadden urge to control our surroundings;
|
Money and time now define the worth as we rise and we fall.
|
|
Rise and fall..
|
each breath could be the last
|
chances have all come and passed.
|
|
Fighting for land to own... and man will always find reasons for war.
|
Fighting wars yields bitter rewards so let's contemplate what to fight for.
|
|
From the oceans we rise... to the ashes we fall.
|
All for one... not one for all.
|
|
Where do we go when we no longer exist?
|
Apologies are useless, they're nothing, they're important.
|
To savour the taste of youth and sweet control...
|
Hierarchical classes split the masses - pray your ranking's high.
|
|
Off - white, low - life, nuisance in a flawless life,
|
ground underfoot like ashes.
|
The world's a fucking gas chamber.
|
|
Populations rise and fall.
