Rhythm of War - mindless consumption, missing compassion Lyrics

(Let's go! let's go! let's go!)

Poison in the sky Poison in our minds
You waited too long You Missed the Signs
In the veins of this world flows the poison we bleed
Every corner every street every seed

Step into the abyss where the shadows dwell
Breathing in the blackness a living hell
Concrete jungles with their toxic spells
Stories they tell of our downfall they yell

We're sipping on venom in the guise of water
Playing with fire becoming the martyr
The air's a concoction should've been smarter
But we keep on drinking the poison we barter

Look around it's a wasteland a spectacle of despair
Feeding on the poison like we don't even care
In the end it's just us with nothing to spare
A world once vibrant now stripped bare

We're caught in the web of our own deceit
Choking on the ashes of our defeat
This poison runs deep in every heartbeat
In this toxic world we're incomplete

We built this empire on lies and decay
Now we stand in the ruins with nothing to say
Our legacy a world in disarray
The poison we cherished leading us astray

No more lies no more pain
In this poisoned rain nothing to gain
We're the architects of our domain
In the ruins of our reign only poison remains

We're the venom and the cure within our grasp
In this dance of destruction our breaths gasp
Can we rise from the ashes our final clasp
Or fade into the void with our final rasp

There's a line in the sand drawn with our sins
A chance for redemption a new way begins
The poison we've bled the darkness within
It's time to heal from the outside to the skin

In the veins of venom we find our truth
In the echoes of our youth the proof
This world we've poisoned under our roof
A testament to our ways aloof

And so we stand in the remnants of our choices
Hearing the haunting of our own voices
In this world of poison it's our voices
That might just find the antidote to our vices
