Apocalyptica

This is the world, can you see it?
See the bloodshed on the ground
Growing cold by every deathly hour
Men are crying, women fighting
Babies raised with bullets in their pockets
Suckling the breast
Finding gun powder in their soiled mouths
The Man is falling
Assumptions of peace are fading
The fist replaces democracy

And it is only becoming worse

Conspiracies rising
As cynicism becomes the fashion
While protest, the unforgotten trend
Is greeted with mere retaliation
The voice, once powerful
Has become second to the weapon
What is diplomacy,
But the myth of yesteryear

And it is only becoming worse

Under the futile cross
Lies misconstrued meaning
And cold-hearted intentions
"God" has become an ally
Of the darkest souls and cruelest minds
Along with the flag of shame

And it is only becoming worse

This society, this life
Hear this world
Touch the pain
Feel the agony
Taste the corruption
See blood oozing out of the earth's cracks
And know

It is only becoming worse
