Like Father, Like Son
Legacy of Chaos: Thunderstone's Reflection on Humanity's Downfall
Lyrics
Thousands of years and nothing has changed
Reflecting on the lack of significant change over thousands of years.
We are killing each other every day
Highlighting the persistent and destructive nature of human conflict.
Dices of future are rolling again
Describing the unpredictable nature of fate and destiny.
Telling who's gonna live or die away
Indicating the randomness in determining who will live or die.
Unleash yourself and prepare for the worst
Encouraging readiness for the worst as a means of survival.
The only way to survive
Asserting that survival is the only option.
Here we are, standing too far
Expressing a sense of being too distant to comprehend one's destiny.
To realize our destiny
Acknowledging the challenge of understanding and fulfilling destiny.
There's something wrong with our breed
Noting a flaw or issue within the human species.
We keep on wanting more we need
Critiquing the constant desire for more without considering true needs.
Look at our children with fear in their eyes
Observing fear in the eyes of children, suggesting a troubled innocence.
Innocent minds full of hatred, anger and lies
Describing young minds filled with negative emotions like hatred and lies.
In the course of years, we've been making laws
Reflecting on the creation of laws over time.
We're supposed to live by the rules
Pointing out the inconsistency in following established rules.
But always there's someone who's lost and alone
Noting the existence of individuals who are lost and lack approval.
And getting approval only from fools
Suggesting that approval often comes from those who are foolish.
So where do we point and who we'll believe
Pondering the uncertainty in choosing beliefs and directions.
What comes around goes around
Emphasizing the cyclical nature of consequences.
For what reason why, what's the truth and the lie
Pose questions about the reasons behind events and the difficulty of finding truth.
The question's never answered
Highlighting the perpetual ambiguity surrounding certain questions.
There's something wrong with our breed
Reiterating a perceived flaw or issue within the human species.
We keep on wanting more we need
Reinforcing the critique of insatiable desires and needs.
Look at our children with fear in their eyes
Revisiting the observation of fear in children, emphasizing innocence tainted by negativity.
Innocent minds full of hatred and lies
Reiterating the presence of hatred and lies in young minds.
Armed to the teeth, ready for a kill
Describing a readiness for violence, devoid of future plans or reasons to live.
No plans for the future, no reason to live
Highlighting a bleak outlook for the future.
We are the mirror what they'll become
Comparing the current generation to a mirror reflecting what they will become.
You know what they say, like father like son
Stating the proverbial expression "like father, like son," suggesting a cycle of behavior.
There's no one to blame, there is no "the truth"
Rejecting the notion of blame and acknowledging the absence of absolute truth.
This is our legacy what we will leave for our youth
Describing the current state as a legacy passed on to the youth.
