Forever and a day

Human emotions are in constant conflict

The words of hatred exchanged

The actions of despair taken

Bombs dropping

Rockets flaring

Guns firing

Death toll hiking

When will humanity realize the peace of nature?



Violence is like a dying rose

In the puddle of blood beneath my feet

Do I see the sadness in the hearts of many

The tears of millions

The sadness is like rain pouring from the sky

The dark clouds of obliteration taking control

We will never be at peace

For there will always be something

That will drive that one person into silly temptations

Temptations that will cause the pain and suffering of others

And in the end, only hatred is gained



The nature of happiness is derived from free spirits

That which are not bound by their emotions of pain

This gravitational pull will keep us down

Underlying notions of gratitude taken for granted

What solitude do humans find

Taking that of which is at the expense of others



For those of you at the top of the world

Dont worry about us, we're doing just fine

Big corporate mindlessness

Keep your fucking gratitude

Unlike you, we have our pride

And no money can buy that out



Whats up homie?

Lets talk shit and shoot guns

Drink beer and degrade others with your foul words

Kind of ironic when in the end you'll be the one in the coffin

Check out Tupac and Biggie

Rappin their raps and makin the millions

But look where it got them

Victims of their own success

What say you now?



Bright neon lights in the distance

I can see the fallace of greed

The slums of hotels and broken homes

Busted road signs and shattered dreams

Karma seems to be working its way back

Into the hearts of those who choose to embrace it

Everywhere I look, it seems as though hatred has consumed us all



So where does this violence lead?

To a demise so great that even our brightest

Couldnt figure out how to dig us out

Even our strongest couldnt withstand the workload

Even our most determined, cant be so forthgoing

We prospered, we will fall

Death is the end result of our own creation
