Lighting up the coastline,
Exposing the truth to our sheltered lives
The meek are churned like butter
Then fed the smear on our knives
How can I sit here and wonder
About love and money and things?
How can I starve while there are mouths to feed?
Just sit back and listen
To that cacophony
That's our new identity
No more exploration
Nothing left to see
Cultural singularity
Complex identity complex
His story history
Inside yearning for a simpler time
Living in an ultra culture
Four pillars crumbling down
Markets disappearing
Governments function in fear
As kings drop their crown
Fearful heart and a hateful eye
Lock out friends like you and I
Look down to our own soil
And see we’re standing on graves
Then there’s talk of mass extinction
Can nobody be saved at all?
Just sit back and listen
To that cacophony
That's our new identity
No more love and mercy
Nothing left for free
Our Earth fallen to its knees
Just sit back and listen
To that cacophony
That's our new identity
No more condemnation
Scarred earth or crimson seas
We’ll live through all eternity
