lyrics

Banners Over the Wasteland

Awaken to this world
And it's harsh reality
Innocent people suffer
The powerful do as they please

Parasitic in nature humans devour their host
Exploiting all in sight today we thrive but we will be tomorrows ghost
Leaving bombed out civilizations cities where nothing's left
But a nations banner flowing over barren lands that carry the stench of death

Hate bigotry and greed
War after bloody war
Starvation violence and disease
Slaughter without remorse

No escape from the nightmares in a bleak world of misery
The unrelenting shroud of greed endlessly infects humanity
Leaders lust for power people trampled under their heels.
Slaves to build their empires soldiers for the battlefields

They Control the media twisting your mind
Images of patriotism and national pride
Poison tongues to sow political lies
The misinformation divides

Children are born as slaves
Innocents in blood stained graves
People left to fend for themselves
Without compassion from anywhere else
Outstretched hands reach for sun
Cursing a god that will never come

Happy soldiers on TV leave us blind to the face of war
Nothing but violence and hate now and forever more
How many of these conquest how many games of death
Until we unleash the nukes and the world can start over fresh

So much destruction will we ever know peace
Will we stand on our feet or live on our knees
Existing in silence the cycle repeats
Until we raise our voice and say enough is enough is enough is enough
