Stone Cold
Stone Cold: Reflections on Humanity's Descent
Lyrics
Outcast a time of war, when mankind lost control
During a time of war, humanity lost its ability to control
Of life and death, under surveillance
Life and death were closely monitored
I watch the children pray, while god just turns away
Observing children praying, feeling abandoned by a distant or unresponsive god
Out in the ruins they seek shelter
Amid destruction, people seek refuge
These streets were once my home, but those
Referring to the singer's past, now turned to ruins
Golden days are gone, now I'm fighting to survive
Reflecting on better times now replaced by a struggle for survival
Stone cold, the end of our dream
Describing a harsh reality, the end of an idealized dream
The sword is on the street, it's kill or to be killed
Desperation on the streets, where survival means kill or be killed
With no exception you are on your own
No assistance or exceptions, everyone fends for themselves
We should have seen it all along, the writings
Realization that signs were ignored, leading to the current situation
On the wall, tell me what have we become
Questioning the transformation or degradation of humanity
Stone cold
Reiteration of the harsh, unforgiving reality
Who do you believe in now, when the prophecy
Asking about faith in uncertain times when prophecies come true
Came true, the final deja vu
Experiencing a sense of repetition, a familiar yet final scenario
These streets were once my home
A repetition of the notion of streets once familiar but now destroyed
Stone cold
A reinforcement of the harsh and unforgiving nature of reality
