Song | Handful of nothing |
Artist | Pain of Salvation |
Album | One hour by the concrete lake |
作曲 : Gidenlow | |
[Music: D.Gildenlow] ' | |
In time of war the first casualty is truth.' ' | |
What broke in a man when he could bring himself to kill another?' | |
We've seen it before but safe on our suburb screens | |
Now I am here in the flesh | |
A witness of war in this godforsaken scene | |
Far from those grey walls | |
See children with guns hatred and fear in their eyes | |
They shoot to release their pain | |
A conflict to solve no matter if someone dies | |
Protecting our interests... | |
Look around, soon there'll be but ruins to be found | |
Winner will be the last that stands | |
Lethal moves in a game of chess for the depraved | |
King or Pawn? | |
Are you worth to save? (What is the prize for this game we play?) (And who are the ones that finally pay?) | |
If we eat more we'll get a handful of nothing | |
We'll be swallowing dirt | |
If we push more we'll get a fistful of enough | |
We'll be swallowing blood | |
They told me that we could actually save human lives | |
That armies would preserve the peace | |
And my work would save, solve and build bonds | |
Only lies! | |
And I fed their wallets... | |
It's strange how we speak of civilised views | |
While we buy that media warface they sell | |
A makeup for "Them" so we can decide who's to die | |
Cause we love it easy: | |
Here they are - take a good look at the beasts of war! | |
Let the rain wash that paint away: | |
Deep inside everyone's a mothers little child | |
Longing home, lost and led astray | |
And we prey on this decay! | |
If we eat more we'll get a handful of nothing | |
We'll be left with the dirt | |
If we push more we'll get a fistful of enough | |
I leave this machine... | |
I left my life to ease my pain | |
But I cannot find that cleansing rain... | |
Look around soon there'll be but ruins to be found | |
We can change - it's all in our minds... [-D. Gildenlow] | |
Step by step hate controls every heart every soul | |
Every gun pointed at those we paint as | |
Enemies We provide what they need to let the game proceed | |
Stuck in machines somewhere we build the cross they bear | |
Arm to solve, kill to save... | |
God I've felt how it smells! "My land's my home" - we're blind! | |
I'm sick of the blood | |
I find! Step by step greed controls every heart every soul | |
Arm to kill, kill to live - | |
God how could | |
I believe... |
