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 timе now define the worth as wе 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
