Lyrics
How can we close our eyes
Expressing disbelief or denial about facing a harsh reality.
When the walls around us
Feeling confined by surrounding difficulties or challenges.
Wear thinner each day?
Highlighting the increasing vulnerability of the situation over time.
How can we mute our voices
Raising the question of silencing oneself in the face of adversity.
When a parade of chaos marches
Describing a tumultuous and disorderly situation that advances.
Throughout the land?
Emphasizing the widespread nature of chaos across the land.
This is the end, end of all
Declaring a sense of finality and inevitability in the face of a recurring crisis.
We've been down this road before
-Yet we all just stand and watch
-Everlasting ignorance has led our ways
-Forewarned, but still forgotten
-Our history erased
-This is the end of all
-This is the end of all
-This is the end of all
-Down on our knees, we bow to hatred
Expressing submission to hatred and the gradual disappearance of resilience.
Down on our knees, we fade away
-Down on our knees, we bow to hatred
-Down on our knees, we fade away
-We've tried and failed
Acknowledging past failures and the repetition of destructive events.
Now Rome burns again
-Again
-Now this is the end
Reiterating a bleak perspective, suggesting an irreversible conclusion.
How can we close our eyes
Repeating the cycle of closing eyes and muting voices amidst worsening circumstances.
When the walls around us
-Wear thinner each day?
-How can we mute our voices
-When a parade of chaos marches
-Throughout the land?
-This is the end of all
Reiterating the theme of an impending end and culmination of all things.
This is the end of all
-This is the end of all
-Down on our knees, we bow to hatred
Continuing the theme of surrender to hatred and gradual fading away.
Down on our knees, we fade away
-Down on our knees, we bow to hatred
-Down on our knees, we fade away
-Down on our knees, we bow to hatred
Reinforcing the idea of bowing to hatred and the inevitable fading away.
Down on our knees, we fade away
-We fade away
-This time it's all of us
Stressing the universality and permanence of the current dire situation.
This time it's forever
