Lyrics
As we plunge down
Descent into a negative situation or state
A dead end path of humanity
Humanity is on a path with no way out
So they suffer
Suffering is present
These are the days
Current times characterized by cheapness of life
In which blood is cheap
Period where bloodshed is common
And it's the price of continued sleep
Continued ignorance comes at the cost of lives
Don't trust, Don't believe
Caution against trusting and believing
Those up top will gladly
Leaders will willingly sacrifice us
Forfeit you and me
Abandonment by those in power
It's right in front of you
A clear reality
It's right in front of me
A shared awareness of the situation
How many have to die
Questioning the toll of lives before realization
Before we see?
The need for awareness through collective loss
It's right in front of you
A recurring emphasis on the evident reality
It's right in front of me
Reiteration of shared blindness
The writing's on the wall
Evidence of truth ignored
But we're too blind to see
Blindness to undeniable facts
The truth's in front of you
Truth is visible but neglected
The truth's in front of me
Collective refusal to acknowledge truth
The blood is on the wall but we prefer to sleep
Bloodshed is evident but ignored for comfort
As we plunge down the dead end path
Repetition of the negative path
Of inhumanity so will we suffer
Inhumanity leading to inevitable suffering
Is coming back at you it's coming back at me
Consequences returning to impact everyone
But you'll just close your eyes
A deliberate choice to ignore reality
And let it bleed...
Allowing harm to persist without intervention
Just take a look at the papers
Highlighting media portrayal of events
Your leaders
Criticism of political leaders as murderers
They're killers
Accusation of deceit by those in power
They're liars
Leaders involved in actions causing death
What they do in your
Actions carried out in the name of the people
Name to make the bodies pile higher
Leaders contributing to a rising death toll
The murders, the terror
A history of murder and terror
They've done it forever
Continuous perpetration of violence
As we sit back and smile
Acceptance of a fabricated narrative
At the script they sell us
Recognition of the victims rising in dissent
(but now) the victims, they're rising
A shift in the narrative, victims becoming vocal
Their number's multiplying
Increase in the number of those seeking justice
They want their revenge for the years
Desire for retribution for years of suffering
That they've been dying
The accumulation of grievances leading to action
So now they come for me
Retribution reaching the narrator
So now they come for you
Retribution reaching the broader society
We didn't hear
Ignorance leading to consequences
And now there's nothing we can do...
A realization of helplessness in the face of consequences
