Orphaned Land
Fail
[Verse 1]
No surprises this morning
As usual I woke up again to a world that kills itself repetitively with no shame or fear
The papers were telling me as always in burning red colors that it's everywhere I'll go
An eternal loop of slavery, murder, rape, corruption and wars
Same old story in colored versions of death, death, death
As if we are doomed
Sucked and being smoked from far beyond by a dead star, a black hole
An endless appetite that swallows our light and wants nothing but more & more & more

[Verse 2]
Yes I am too the fuel that feeds this machine
This vast engine of destruction that takes our lives, our souls and our freedom
And what other choices do I have in a society that educates me to be stupid
I am brainwashed like a sheep
So that every liar with a sip of charisma can easily turn himself into my "shepherd"
So, here I am, sitting like a fairy princess
Waiting for her Messiah while happiness is everywhere except here and now
And we all keep hanging onto our hopes
While the storm still rages inside

[Chorus 1]
Slippery tongues fork from my screen
Spewing such lies in the name of the green
They play the game of thrones till one wins
A rule of one liar ends and another begins
[Bridge]
So why do we fail to see
And why in this jail are we
Living our life with the threat of fire
We're losing again all to this mire

[Chorus 2]
Money tied with power, war and bloodlust
They'll spend our money until none of it lasts
They will send our sons to war to die for a god
That they use as a coin to barter for blood

[Outro]
"Yes sir, no sir" - can I go home now?
Your thirst for blood has lost me somehow
I was young when they took me;
I am a young man no more
As they used me and threw me like the army's last whore

A children's crusade - we are brothers in arms
A multitude of fools like a rain of falling stars
We walk the road to war while they smoke their cigars
Like a serpent forever feeding on its tail
This cycle of death goes on forever again
And again... and again...
