Wasted tears of sadness fall On an acid ground There's no vision left to realise Self destruction all around We ignored the danger All warnings left unheard To return it's too late Bound to our fate We feel like a flightless bird There's no hope, no future All (our) (true) values slain Meanless words to disperse our fear Empty promises drown in pain All honest feeling Are caught in chains We believed all the lies Now pay the price Despair flowing through our reins In a world of madness Ruled by war and crime Where violence cries For more sacrifice Quite at home in perverted rhymes We pray for rescue But all in vain No tomorrow for change For the future is now As only little time remains Vanity and pride Brought blindness in strife True values held in hide Still burning inside Captured in the claws of fear we enter The eclipse of mankind
