Past on Repeat

Look at the past repeating it's self

Young men fighting

Women crying

People dyeing

An endless circle

Fed by fear,

The sea may bleed

The heavens may cry

And the Earth may tremble

But we turn a blind eye,

We don't want to see the world we're killing

The lives we are swallowing

The blood we are spilling

The way we've always done it before,

Our human rights are swept away by genocide

And our wars go on because of brainwashed pride,

We have a cross of homicide

That is held up high by oily hands of the hypnotized

The past repeats itself time after time

And what does that teach us?

That we can't trust freedom if it is not in our hands,

They killed the man that said "Peace could last forever"

Because there is no such thing

When everyone's fighting for the promise land;

We might as well shut up and bite our tongues

Because life's no fun when we know we are going to die young

Just send dead flowers to the soldiers so they know what's to come

Look at the past repeating itself

Every cop is a criminal

Every saint is a sinner

The people in the world just don't know any better

So

Young men are fighting

Women are crying

People are dyeing

An endless war is feuding

And all it does is feed the rich

While burying the poor.
