Lyrics
Rise And Fall
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This human incompetence and this consequence
Sub-human intolerance hitting home
This stupid old prejudice and its consequence
Civilian rights are not right for all deserve rights, large and small
Rise and fall
Each breath could be the last
Chances have all come and passed
Why can't we just shake the urge to end everything?
Property lines slice through the earth
The sudden urge to control our surroundings
Money and time now define their worthless
We rise and fall
Rise and fall
Each breath could be the last
Chances have all come and passed
Fighting for land to on
And man will always find reasons for war
Fighting wars yields bitter rewards
So let's contemplate what to fight for
From the oceans we rise
To the ashes we fall
All for one
Not one for all
Where do we go when we no longer exist?
Apologies are useless, they're nothing, they're impotent.
To savour the taste of youth and sweet control
Hierarchol classes split the masses
Pray your ranking's high
Off-white, low-life, nuisance in a flawless life
Ground underfoot like ashes
The worlds a fucking gas chamber
Populations rise and fall
