Armageddon

Burnt, A steeple lays dormant against a sky gone wild
Forgotten, A pew lays latent against a ground gone stale
Burned, A priest lays hidden against a bible gone silent
Forgiven, A god lays asleep against a world gone mad

It’s Armageddon, they say, It’s the end of the goddamn world
I say it’s a break in their relentless acts, A pause in ghastly breath
They burn down our schools, Our forests, Our cemeteries are next
Skeletons out? Skeletons free? It’s the land of the fucking dead

It’s Judgment Day, they swear, It’s the disaster we’ve drilled for
I thought it was oil, But apparently my mind was rotted with music
A teen lost to the dark side, A pure soul turned so fucking evil
All I did was think, My mind will not be silenced, Bear witness to the truth

They’re killing your brothers, They’re raping your sisters
As your parents are bound by greed and paid by the system
Cogs in a machine, Lubed up by blood and fucked over again
Your family tree is burning, And you’re hanging by your naiveté

A nation of religions gives you no room to think, to stand, to speak out
A nation of hypocrites gives you no room to want, to need, to stand out
A nation of bankers gives you no room to have, to gain, to fill out
A nation of killers gives you no room to be, to live, to breathe out
