Can’t you see that we have idle hands
The clock is ticking to our final moment
We do nothing to turn back time
Still poison flows from us into the earth
We’re doing nothing and it’s killing our world
You point the finger but steer clear of the blame
You can’t be bothered to help
You’re passing on the issue when you’re still part of the problem
We’ve pierced the lungs of a dying world
Just for some fucking gold
Scorched the world just to feed ourselves
It wastes away rotting at our feet
Plastic plagues the sea
So will we sink or swim?
The earth is suffering
The world is dying out
Finally take back control
Of this dying world
Reaching inside of ourselves
The time is now
The hands are seconds away
Theres still time to
Dig ourselves out of this grave
The world has given us a chance
Let it heal the wounds we inflict
The push and pull
The ebb and flow
The tide will reclaim us all
So swim with it or drown
Swim with it or drown
Don’t let our bones fade to dust
Or it will sink its teeth further in our skin
Our time is running out
What is there left to save
We’ll fade into the dirt
The time is now
The hands are seconds away

Taking back the things we said
They refused to accept; they’re all to blame
Stripped away the chains
Handing out the weapons to the insane
Fight fire with fire and watch every body burn
It's a lesson in life that you never seem to learn
It's said over and over again just to fall on deaf ears
You are playing with emotion just to profit from our fears
If you piled the bodies high
you'll never see the sky
Lights out
There is no coming back
I can feel the cold metal pressed to my head
Counting down the time 'til they pull the trigger
Our final seconds spent in the grave
Folding notes to line their pockets
Pressing the gun to our heads
They just kill, they don’t protect
How can you sleep with a gun in your bed
Set banners aflame
Show them we have names
How many more will it take
Before we end up the same
If we’re just a sacrifice
Then what does that make them
Lights out
There is no coming back
I can feel the cold metal pressed to my head
Counting down the time till they pull the trigger
Our final seconds spent in the grave
We won't go on with a noose round our necks
We hang by a thread on the edge of a knife
Common sense lost on the senseless
Another’s life isn’t worth less than yours
If we’re just a sacrifice
Then what does that make them?
Can we truly turn a blind eye
Once again we chose ignorance
How many have to die
Before the message sinks in
Force it down their throats if we have to
I’ll make it our daily bread
Folding notes to line their pockets
Pressing the gun to our heads
These just kill, they don’t protect
How can you sleep with a gun in your bed

Another path of war
Another time they fight for peace
This juxtaposition of mind will never align
Until we find our common ground
I can’t believe they think there’s no other way
What happened to “we’re all the same underneath the skin”?
Homicide disguised as justified
Why take another land
It’s just a planet of dirt
Taking the lives of the innocent
To keep on living a lie
And make us powerless
The dissonance between us
It’s an imaginary line
Built from hateful minds
Those jealous of what others have
I can't deal with this anymore
Try to think why
It is not the way
Casualty of war
Heavy lies the crown upon your head
You try to find
A good way to justify
But the numbers just don't add up
You’re taking a thousand just for ten
We won’t last long in this world
If we continue on this path
now is the time to make it right,
Turn it down and you die tonight
Be part of the future
And make a change
What would you see in their eyes
Would you see a child staring back at you
I can't deal with this anymore
Try to think why
It is not the way
Casualty of war
Heavy lies the crown upon your head
You try to find
A good way to justify
But the numbers just don't add up
You’re taking a thousand just for ten
Until we find our common ground
Hold on to what you believe is right
They give bad ideas one after another
Until we find our common ground
Hold on to what you believe is right
Take a moment to change all of this
It’s just an imaginary line
