about
This is a song we composed years ago. We decided to bring it back because it became surprisingly relevant in 2020.
lyrics
Amidst the horrors of our city
Have you seen the news today?
Fathers killing brothers
Brothers killing sons
It's a tragedy
The world is fleeting
A war is coming
Are you prepared to stay?
The targets are marked
The agony is stronger
Make sure to take your aim
Hear the children crying for the lives
See the city streets paved with blood
Open your eyes and try to see the truth
It's not hard to do
Is this the best that we have to offer our saddened youth?
Hear the children crying for the lives
See the city streets paved with blood
With blood
With their authority crippled
A child isn't breathing
This is what I've seen
Bullets keep on flying
People keep on dying
It is so obscene
Hear the children crying for the lives
See the city streets paved with blood
Apocalypse generation
Our natural occupation
To tear each other limb from limb
Observe your light growing dim
You asked for this race war
Is it what you hoped for?
You asked for this race war
Is it what you hoped for?
You asked for this race war
Is it what you hoped for?
You asked for this race war
Is it what you hoped for?
Is it?
Is it?
Is it?
Is it?
Is it?
Is it?
Is it?
Is it?
Is it?
Is it?
Is it?
Is it?
Is it?
Is it?
Is it?
Is it?
Is it?
Is it?
Is it?
Is it?
Amidst the horrors of our city
Have you seen the news today?
Fathers killing brothers
Brothers killing sons
It's such a tragedy
This tragedy has now become our reality
The world is fleeting
A war is coming
Are you prepared to stay?
Targets are marked
The agony is stronger
Make sure and take your aim
Hear the children crying for the lives
See the city streets paved with blood
Apocalypse generation
Our natural occupation
To tear each other limb from limb
Observe your light fading
Killer innocent
A mother is in torment
How did it come to this?
What is our confusion?
This was our solution
It was just business
The news is deceiving
When there's only grieving
To see a different side
Look for yourself and tell me what you have seen
Notice how they've all lied to your face
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
No
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
No
No
You asked for this race war
Is it what you hoped for?
You asked for this race war
So is it what you hoped for?
You asked for this race war
Is it what you hoped for?
You asked for this race war
I hope you're so proud of yourselves
