V.O.A.

Sick of witnessing tragedy and told to turn the other cheek Mankind is a festering disease Eradication is how we choose to speak So long to the days we had control We live and breathe to die by the sword Failing to achieve an existence in the absence of cruelty And now it's gonna be a long road back to the place we've never seen A rough and narrow path of atonement You can bury the bodies but you can't bury the screams Trapped in a downward spiral We're all numb to the travesty We choose to ignore the pattern and turn blind eyes to the suffering Unforgivable the sick deeds The lies you forced me to believe You cultivated the seeds of the apathy growing deep in me Stop acting so bewildered It was you that created me Unavoidable explosion I express myself in hateful rage V O A Violent on arrival Snap back to reality's sobering flash A never ending path of trouble Destroy the will of anyone daring to attempt to break from the throes We kill the spirit We douse the flame We can't seem to quench the blood lust All the time shuffling the blame and declaring our innocence Unforgivable the sick deeds The lies you forced me to believe You cultivated the seeds of the apathy growing deep in me Stop acting so bewildered - it was you that created me Unavoidable explosion - I express myself in hateful rage V O A Violent on arrival V O A V O A The violence is here The righteous fall They will fall before the wicked The righteous fall They will fall to the wicked The righteous fall They will fall before the wicked The righteous fall They will fall Fall unto them all Staring at my reflection's gaze Trying to reconcile the carnage I did what I was told and punished for a job well done The promise of another chance to breathe is no longer a comfort to me I am the animal you conceive in your own likeness Unforgivable the sick deeds The lies you forced me to believe You cultivated the seeds of the apathy growing deep in me Stop acting so bewildered - it was you that created me Unavoidable explosion - I express myself in hateful rage V O A Violent on arrival V O A Violent on arrival
