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 sudden urge to control our surroundings

Money and time now define

Their worthless we 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 impotent

To savour the taste of youth and sweet control

Hierarchal 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

Populations rise and fall
