lyrics

From this world to the next
Barely settled down before leaving
From this world to the next
All I ever did appears in vain
From this world to the next
Far away so many people dying
From this world to the next
Far too many chances thrown away

From this world to the next
Angels fear to tread where men are scheming
From this world to the next
Humanity is vanity’s disease
From this world to the next
Many eyes are blind to what’s before them
From this world to the next
Hope and freedom cut down to their knees

From this world to the next
Apathy of mindless, milling, millions
From this world to the next
Fear and greed still taken to the grave
From this world to the next
Years of learning, void of understanding
From this world to the next
We never seem to learn from our mistakes

You will be known forevermore
All branded Generation Y
Why you did so little
When you had the most to give
Why with all your intellect
You fell for politicians
Who are masters of deception
Further masterful magicians
Distracted by your selfishness
And things inconsequential
You were misinformed, misguided
Far removed from your potential
For years beyond too many
You have lost the taste for freedom
Not a word of indignation
Lost the will for demonstration

Many streets are empty
As are houses of dissent
And rooms put up for rent are filled
With spies with guns and cameras
You are brainwashed by publicity
And caught inside the web
Which is primed by politicians
Public whores of corporations
Infected by so many secret agents under orders
Of men who pay allegiance to societies of secrets
Where those of high degree
Divide the world to their own liking
Who live for domination of the Spirit and of Man

Yet in their thirst for power
They have woken up the demons
Who will promise to them glory
Yet deliver more illusion
Beware the retribution
Which comes surely as the night
Where all will be exposed
All that seemed forever hidden
For in the end their deeds
Which have destroyed the work of angels
Will come crashing in upon them
In lifetimes yet to come
Where they will suffer all their actions
And will pay for their destruction
Born in likeness to their karma
Now ugly on the outside
And on the inside
And on the outside
And on the inside
