Rise and Fall

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
