lyrics
WALKING THROUGH THESE SHATTERED STREETS, BROKEN GLASS BENEATH OUR FEET THE ONLY SOUND THAT'S HERE TO GREET OUR ENTRY INTO HELL
IN THE RUBBLE I FIND A TATTERED SHOE, NO SIGN OF WHO IT BELONGS TO, WAS IT LOST AS THEY RAN THROUGH, OR DOES IT MARK THE PLACE THEY FELL
CHORUS
HUMAN REMAINS, NO HUMANITY REMAINS, JUST SADNESS & PAIN FOR A PLACE I ONCE CALLED HOME
WHERE DO YOU GO WHEN EVERYTHING YOU OWN AND EVERYONE YOU'VE KNOWN NOW LIES BENEATH THE DUST AND STONE
BIRDS DON'T SING, NO CHILDREN PLAY, SILENCE FRAMES A GRIM DISPLAY, THE HOLOCAUSTS OF YESTERDAY STILL ECHO THROUGH THE YEARS
A DOLL LIES IN THE ARMS OF A GIRL, HER MOTHER CARESSES HER LONG BLACK CURLS IN A HOSPITAL WARD FULL OF SHATTERED SOULS, THEIR SCREAMS RING IN OUR EARS
CHORUS
A CAST OF SOLDIERS TANKS AND PLANES, THIS THEATRE OF WAR DOES NOT ENTERTAIN,
BATTLES IN AN ABSENT GOD'S NAME OR POLITICAL DISPUTE.
MILLIONS ONCE KNEW THIS PLACE AS HOME, FOUNTAINS CHURCHES SCHOOLS AND ROADS,
REMOTELY DESTROYED BY UNMANNED DRONES, PRESS X TO EXECUTE,
CHORUS
