The End Of The World
Endless Suffering: Reflections on Global Strife
Lyrics
So many nations involved
Many countries are involved in the situation.
So many leaders with blood on their hands
Several leaders are responsible for causing harm or death.
Around the oil it revolves
The conflict is centered around control of oil.
Endless suffering for nothing
People are enduring endless pain and hardship for no valid reason.
Futures and fates destined
Outcomes and destinies are predetermined.
A thousand years of war unresolved
There's been a millennium of ongoing, unsettled conflict.
For them it's the end of the world
For those directly affected, it's catastrophic.
For us it's just more news
For observers, it's merely additional distressing information.
Cultures going down the drain
Various cultures are deteriorating rapidly.
Prosecuted in the name of their God
People are being punished in the name of their religious beliefs.
Families torn apart, children in fear
Families are being separated, and children are living in constant fear.
We neglect those who are in need
We're failing to support those who require assistance.
They know that the end of the world is near
Some individuals perceive the imminent end of the world.
Only the innocents are forced to bleed
Only the blameless suffer and are made to bleed.
A thousand years of war
Repeated mention of the long duration of conflict and suffering.
A thousand years of war
Reiteration of a millennium of war.
Only the innocents are forced to bleed
Reinforces the idea that only innocent individuals are affected negatively.
So many nations involved
Reiteration of the involvement of numerous nations.
So many leaders with blood on their hands
Restates the presence of leaders with culpable actions.
Around the oil it revolves
Reiterates the focus on oil in the conflict.
Endless suffering for nothing
Reaffirms the senseless, enduring agony experienced.
Futures and fates destined
Reiteration of predetermined futures and fates.
A thousand years of war unresolved
Reiterates the prolonged, unsettled nature of the war.
Families torn apart, children in fear
Repeats the impact on families and children.
We neglect those who are in need
Reaffirms the negligence toward those needing help.
They know that the end of the world is near
Reiterates the belief in the impending end of the world.
Only the innocents are forced to bleed
Reinforces the idea that only innocent individuals suffer.
