Defcon Rising Lyrics by Hexen

Being and Nothingness

0

Far too often man becomes clever
Instead of him becoming wise
Becomes inventive instead of thoughtful
Perpetuates humanity's demise
A brief glance at the prevailing world
Exhibits the same symptomatic device
Of the fatal human error present in all
We stop at no pain and no price
Diminished freedom in a blackened future
You've probably heard it all before
But we are running out of second chances
And will ultimately lose this war
Who will rescue us from the spark of the apocalyptic collapse?
Who will provide some rapture when the bringers of the end amass?
This race can't save it from itself, so much can't be restored
Always won the battles, and we'll ultimately lose the war
There never was a greater shame
A coup d'état from within
And we only have ourselves to blame
When greed controls no one wins
A nation that had the potential
To be heaven on earth
But the ones upstairs wouldn't let us have it, So we'll give 'em a rebirth!
The human animal; inherently selfish
Will never change its harmful ways
No matter how much progress or experience gained
We are still inept, kept at bay
I seek to see the good in this government
And it has little to display!
Who will rescue us from the spark of the apocalyptic collapse?
Who will provide some rapture when the bringers of the end amass?
This race can't save it from itself, so much can't be restored
Always won the battles, and we'll ultimately lose the war
The Defense Condition rising
With no foreign threat or attack
America is imploding
The people want true democracy back
They will destroy this empire
Who for a century sucked the blood
Of the third world and eastern states
Reduced to rubble and mud, Unless we stop now...
