A nation in turmoil, a city in grief. I can't see the sun for the smoke cloud

Familiar street unrecognizable for the debris. I stumble through destruction

Inside I scream for retribution, to ease the pain and grief I feel

[Chorus]

Some would say that I've lost my way, well what do they know?

I can not tell if I'm lead astray by myself

But when what's sacred to me is brought to it's knees, when they've

Struck at the core of my security; my society, I go to war

Children carrying flags to be placed on their fathers' graves

Starvation and disease is the aftermath, the till, the prices to be pain

For religious and political power games

So what should I do?

Sit in silence as they burn everything I hold true?

[Chorus]

Violence breeds violence, sure, I'm aware of that

But still we carry our predatory genes

Eat or be eaten, kill or get killed-it's the way of the world

But I doubt still as I go to war

Death, burnt flesh is left in my trail. In self-defence I maim

Crawling in me, a leering demon, consuming my humanity

Day by day

In my mind the accusations drone

In my mind I am never alone, never alone
