Still Screaming

Time has passed, so little changed, the brave still live in hope
The ruthless rule, with nothing more, than daggers to your throat
Elections fixed, and money talks, the earth still chokes in pain
The artist paints his darkest thoughts while mindless terrors reign
The soldier boy still fights in vain, against the secret foe
The standards for our children, have never been so low
Created plagues, that creep the world, hunting out the weak
The icecaps melt, the oceans die, if only earth could speak
I'm Still Screaming
Open your eyes and see, the chaos, watching the cities burn
Dreaming your dream of hope is wasted, the lesson is there to learn
Search for madness, find your soul
Out in the open night the message is trying to tell us all
I'm Still Screaming
Paying the price of hope, and glory selling the medals cheap
Worship the flag that flies for fashion, watching the children sleep
Search for madness, find your soul
Out in the open night the message is trying to tell us all
I'm Still Screaming
The quest for self indulgence, the hedonistic chase
Narcosis for the masses, relentless in its race
Corruption in the highest, the acid rain still falls
The child abused by parents, behind the facade walls
Escaping is no answer, so many often try
You kill to fund the habit, that helps to make you fly
A world that seems so heartless, a species doomed to die
So now its time to give up, and let another try
