Here stands the world in its fallen state
Where white lies and pettiness transform into hate
Where we build up walls to hide from our fate
My blackened heart buys into the emptiness
Afraid to seek what’s really inside of us
What could possibly be our original purpose?
For the things I've seen are perverted and twisted
The deprivation of man shines with our hatred
We’re separated from what’s pure and sacred
We’re separated by an eternal day
We owe a debt that we cannot repay
For we defiled what is perfect and made it unclean
We have stolen our innocence and left our spirit demeaned
We feast on our flesh as children die
We feast on our flesh as poor men cry
We feast on our flesh and live for the day
Shallow and hollow we respect what we earn
But the depths of our soul seeks the eternal
Redemption, redemption is the only way for my soul’s sake
Redemption, redemption, is the only way for mankind’s sake
When judgment comes to sweep up the nations
When enemy upon enemy take up battle stations
All of our hiding places will quickly burn
All of our children will have nowhere to turn
For our gift to them is wrath and our names have been cursed
All that could possibly be good will have already dispersed
For we believe in ourselves and wage our wars
In hopes that our injustice will give us more
