Listen my dear son,
Hope you accept my apologies
For the things that we have done,
In the names of gods and economies
We all failed to stop the proceeding
Of history repeating itself
We stood there silent, applauded the pilot
As he crashed the plane into the ground
No survivors could be found
So this is all that's left
Withered fields and dried out rivers
Now you were born into this broken world
The future has been sold to the highest bidder
And the last I want for you is to get hurt
I don't expect you to approve
Of the decisions that we made
And I know that we will soon be judged by history
Better learn your lesson from what we pass on
And don't repeat the same mistakes
This is a confession of a generation
Maybe you one day got what it takes
I wish you all the best
'Cause this is all that's left
Withered fields and poisoned rivers
Now you were born into this violent mess
The future has been sold to the highest bidder
And all that I can do is to confess
We're not just demons in disguise
We stood there stunned and paralyzed
Then far too late we realized
That this is suicide
Now this is all that's left
Shattered dreams and failed believers
Now you were born into this rotten world
The future has been sold to the highest bidder
And the last I want for you is to get hurt
