Aftermath

We starve the Earth, we empty it whole We have non-regrettingly sold our soul To a bigger TV and an empty front lawn All well knowing our future is gone The sun burns up, the sky turns black You're suddenly aware there's no going back Retreat to your homes, your TVs and lawns, Wait for the eclipse, when retribution will hit Dark stains on ivory Stains that never goes away This is our heredity We were never meant to stay Dark stains on ivory, Stains that never goes away A world in decay This place, our home, forever in pain With order restored, we shall try again, This time with patience, love and respect For the creatures around us, the planet, our home As soon as we learn to step down from the throne And we must keep on this track, not fall back Or once again the sky will turn black Mother Earth will swallow you whole, You pathetic creature, who sold his soul Dark stains on ivory Stains that never goes away This is our heredity We were never meant to stay Dark stains on ivory, Stains that never goes away A world in decay This place, our home, forever in pain We starve the earth, we empty it whole All well knowing our future is gone When do we learn to step down from the throne? Wait for the eclipse (wait for the eclipse) when retribution will hit. Dark stains on ivory Stains that never goes away This is our heredity We were never meant to stay Dark stains on ivory, Stains that never goes away A world in decay This place, our home, forever in pain

So get this fucking straight We are in this together, never alone You are flesh I am bone We were left for nothing and pushed aside Beaten, picked on and left to die Let the hate consume you Together we rot In this pit of salvation This unprejudiced spot I will mark you my path, so step in my tracks, Now that I can truly see We are the same kind of different, you and me We share the suffering We keep on wondering Now that I can truly see We are the same kind of different, you and me Honed for perfection Subject to aggression Being used as tools for control But we were meant for another role (for another role) Let the hate consume you Together we rot In this unprejudiced spot I will mark you my path, so step in my tracks, Now that I can truly see We are the same kind of different, you and me We share the suffering We keep on wondering Now that I can truly see We are the same kind of different, you and me We've been left for nothing Pushed aside Beaten, picked on and left to die Reach out for my hand, I will lead you the way To a sanctuary place, within your hate and your pain... I will mark you my path, so step in my tracks, Now that I can truly see We are the same kind of different, you and me We share the suffering We keep on wondering Now that I can truly see, We are the same kind of different, you and me I'll mark you my path So step in my tracks Now that I can truly see We're the same kind of different you and me We share the suffering We keep on wondering Now that I can truly see We're the same kind of different you and me

For too long have we reached for the sky We can never we be satisfied Profit comes first, only quenching our thirst We will never have enough More needs more and an eye for an eye What a pitiful world, built on a lie We were destined to fail Although we were given the tools to prevail Our greed and our lust was unveiled Destined to fail Waiting for the day when I stop to care, Forever trapped in this nightmare Consumed by the need to always exceed The limits of this world, the limits of our earth More needs more and an eye for an eye What a pitiful world, built on a lie We were destined to fail Although we were given the tools to prevail Our greed and our lust was unveiled Destined to fail Waiting for the day when I stop to care, Forever trapped in this nightmare More needs more, an eye for an eye A pitiful world, built on a lie We were destined to fail Although we were given the tools to prevail Our greed and our lust was unveiled Destined to fail We were destined to fail Although we were given the tools to prevail Our greed and our lust was unveiled Destined to fail

As the forest burns away, as the planet's turning grey, As we keep on giving birth, to children condemned to a world in pain Everyone dies in vein We will forever stay the same You've lived your life with your hands painted red Take a fucking stand you pitiful prick So many years of misconduct and neglect As we blacken the sky As we blacken the sky As the smog in the air blackens the sky As our lives goes on, based on a lie As we count our final hours, only with ourselves to blame I am left with shame We will forever stay the same You've lived your life with your hands painted red Take a fucking stand you pitiful prick So many years of misconduct and neglect As we blacken the sky As we blacken the sky The forest burns away The planet's turning grey Radiation everywhere Chemical waste You've lived your life with your hands painted red Take a fucking stand you pitiful prick So many years of misconduct and neglect As we blacken the sky As we blacken the sky

Now that your hollowness is clearer than ever, Now that our eyes are finally open Fed us with panic and despair, as long as you dared, But now we're waking up to take affair Now that your emptiness is clearer than ever Your wheel of life is falling apart Humanity, never meant to be But now we're waking up to take affair Your rules do not apply I am liberty And don't you even try To force it down on me Suppressed by the system for way too long Why fit in, why fit in, why fit in when you were born to stand strong? Now that your pretty lies are clearer than ever Now we're finally ready to fight Led us to darkness and death, take your final breath, 'Cause now we're waking up to take affair Now that my warnings are finally heard Now that your life has come to an end, Humanity, wasn't meant to be But now we're awake – we'll take affair! Your rules do not apply, I am liberty And don't you even try To force it down on me Suppressed by the system for way too long Why fit in, why fit in, why fit in when you were born to stand strong? Inhale the fumes, your eyes are getting heavy now First delusions, now paranoia I'll cut off your eyelids for you to see What I'm about to do to thee Stay awake – this is far from over Vengeance – and finally peace Your rules do not apply, I am liberty And don't you even try To force it down on me Suppressed by the system for way too long Why fit in, why fit in, why fit in when you were born to stand strong?

Straight from the depths of my heart This is where I belong Our union stands strong You can say what you want This is the place I call home The one thing you may never take from me Forever forced to normality Taking away what matters to me I seek refuge in brutality This union can't be beat Can't be beat And we are loyal down to the bone, Never shall one be left alone, You know where you belong Our union stands strong Forever forced to normality Taking away what matters to me I seek refuge in brutality This union can't be beat We are the final resistance Driven by hate And we base our existence In this unity Straight from the depths of my heart This is where I belong Loyal down to the bone Never shall one be left alone Our union stands strong Stands strong Forever forced to normality Taking away what matters to me I seek refuge in brutality This union can't be beat Can't be beat… this union can't be beat

Your pretty lies, your suit and your tie, Your absence of empathy sickens me Your double standards and counterfeit smile Your existence – our demise Who is really to blame? The blindfolded sheep who keeps voting the same, We drown in blindness! Nothing will change, we stay the same Are you sorry when the lights begin to fade? Are you sorry for the promises you made? Some day you'll be ordered to explain Some day you'll be placed with the blame You promised us change Gave us nothing again (When the lights begin to fade) Some day you'll understand our pain Some day you'll lose the game You promised us change Gave us nothing again When the lights begin to fade Not all hope is lost, fight for the cause Gather your strength and spit in their face We will stand together as one Fight for our beliefs, against the human disease We lie awake at night Waiting for change But now I realize It's all the same again Are you sorry, when the lights begin to fade? Are you sorry for the promises you made? Some day you'll be ordered to explain Some day you'll be placed with the blame You promised us change Gave us nothing again (When the lights begin to fade) Some day you'll understand our pain Some day you'll lose the game You promised us change Gave us nothing again When the lights begin to fade And as I break your jaw, and as I split your spine I remember the past, what you have done to mine, And as I hear you screams, I see it in your eyes I recall everything that is done by your lies… Some day you'll be ordered to explain Some day you'll be placed with the blame You promised us change Gave us nothing again (when the lights begin to fade) Some day you'll understand our pain Some day you'll lose the game You promised change Gave nothing again When the lights begin to fade [2x]

It's time to question their reasons, Is it really worth dying for oil? A war build on secrets These plans were meant to recoil One step closer to the edge Afraid to speak your mind? I hope you doubt your pledge When using guns to hide behind This war can't be right Pray the sun will never rise To all the prisoners of war There are facts you can never ignore Question the reasons, I implore 'Cause we're all prisoners of war You realize your hands are tied Awakening all your fears Even though you win the war You'll lose so much more So ask yourself what this is for Did you destroy or restore? This war can't be right Pray the sun will never rise To all the prisoners of war There are facts you can never ignore Question the reasons, I implore 'Cause we're all prisoners of war The nights were never silent The air filled with screams of despair My mind embroiled in violence I can never be repaired [2x] To all the prisoners of war There are facts you can never ignore Question the reasons, I implore 'Cause we're all prisoners of war To all the prisoners of war There are facts you can't ignore Question the reasons, I implore 'Cause we're all prisoners of war
