Thoughts and Prayers

This burden, they are the scourge of mankind Fear is their profit And they will never rest producing sorrow and distress Incitement of a monstrous industry This is the time to act – just cut your idle talk We’re getting nowhere fast Ruthless accessories, preaching dogma from the past Decades of stagnation, but this order will not last This is the time to act But you send thoughts and prayers Yet we will never rest You ache for prudent leaders, but there are none Declare your silent surrender Thy will be done Inhuman policies, serving their crime-fueled companies A well known syndicate, but no regime is built to last Numbered days, embrace all coming tragedies Your fall from grace, just drifting, you’re sinking Descending from your decadence Why should you take the blame, just lying You’re crawling before this blood stained shrine This is the time to act But you send thoughts and prayers Yet we will never rest You ache for prudent leaders, but there are none Declare your silent surrender Thy will be done And now you dare to tell me, That we shall never mourn again And again I hear their hollow sermon There will never be a compromise Just empty words, forsaken are the victims, But they will never fall We see the signs of time And we will never rest You ache for prudent leaders, But they’re all gone We are the final resistance! --- Thoughts and Prayers - Heaven Shall Burn
