Time and War
A day long in a single hour
Suffocated by its power
Hours of death were minutes left
Days of blood are hours we kept
Several months trapped in a few days
Past oblivious to the beast that lays
The longest year, an hour long
Avarice and cruelty see no wrong
Timeless wars took your sons
Today, still, we sell their guns
Decades of venom left to pour
Years ahead of enemy gore
Months of despair trapped in a mind
Sorrow and pain its only find
Our shameful past has taught us nothing
Righteous rebellions we keep crushing
And we're still stood on opposing sides
Obliviously believing in their false divides
The trash of collective apathy
Hearts succumbed to atrophy
Our souls like wooden birds
No flight, no song, we're mindless herds
Broken old husks of a previous life
Trapped in this senseless strife
Minds numb to the emptiness of this place
No life, a city with no face
The black sky darkens still
All this destruction at one man's will
Power, blood-tainted desire
The minutes left are our death choir
We are blind stars unaware of our light,
But the world is deaf to its own plight
Our shameful past has taught us nothing
Righteous rebellions we keep crushing
And we're still stood on opposing sides
Obliviously believing in their false divides
Wounds of flesh and mind will heal
This evil I won't let you conceal
And in their scars I will plant a seed
Warning, oppression did not heed
Now the seed of revolution sprouts
It drives away all manufactured doubts
Let the seed of revolution sprout
Suffocated by its power
Hours of death were minutes left
Days of blood are hours we kept
Several months trapped in a few days
Past oblivious to the beast that lays
The longest year, an hour long
Avarice and cruelty see no wrong
Timeless wars took your sons
Today, still, we sell their guns
Decades of venom left to pour
Years ahead of enemy gore
Months of despair trapped in a mind
Sorrow and pain its only find
Our shameful past has taught us nothing
Righteous rebellions we keep crushing
And we're still stood on opposing sides
Obliviously believing in their false divides
The trash of collective apathy
Hearts succumbed to atrophy
Our souls like wooden birds
No flight, no song, we're mindless herds
Broken old husks of a previous life
Trapped in this senseless strife
Minds numb to the emptiness of this place
No life, a city with no face
The black sky darkens still
All this destruction at one man's will
Power, blood-tainted desire
The minutes left are our death choir
We are blind stars unaware of our light,
But the world is deaf to its own plight
Our shameful past has taught us nothing
Righteous rebellions we keep crushing
And we're still stood on opposing sides
Obliviously believing in their false divides
Wounds of flesh and mind will heal
This evil I won't let you conceal
And in their scars I will plant a seed
Warning, oppression did not heed
Now the seed of revolution sprouts
It drives away all manufactured doubts
Let the seed of revolution sprout
