So many problems we face, from the hurt and disgrace Trapped in a rat race, we never seem to get it right We can't understand, all we do is make plans Then they go up in smoke, this is a wild fire I'm right and you’re wrong, we have hope but its gone We just want to belong, we never get along So we scratch and we claw then we fight and wage war We are the same.. But we never seem to get along.. What makes you think that I want to die in a desert? The rich get rich, the poor die quick, we don’t deserve it No one is spared when no one cares What makes you think that I want to pick up a weapon? When there is no hope, and there's no love, we’re not human.. I take one step forward and two steps back In the end I feel I’m going nowhere.. Nowhere at all.. An eye for an eye, blood in blood out But in the end I feel I'm going nowhere.. Nowhere at all.. Through the fear and the doubt I will stand and speak out Trapped in a dead world we never seem to get it right Coz we're scared and confused by the lies on the news And their spreading their views to go and buy more If I live and you die does that make me more right? Just because I’m alive I own the history So I duck and I weave like a viral disease And spread the word.. Of an existential misery What makes you think that they have the best of intentions? Is it 'cause they make all the rules and sanctions? No one is spared when no one cares Did you ever ask why they never stopped it? Morality never gets in the way of the profits I take one step forward and two steps back In the end I feel I’m going nowhere.. Nowhere at all.. An eye for an eye, blood in blood out But in the end I feel I'm going nowhere.. Nowhere at all.. Nobody cares, nobody wins, we all lose Nobody cares, nobody wins, we all lose Nobody cares, nobody wins, we all lose Nobody cares, nobody wins.. We all lose! Fuck! Nobody cares! Nobody wins.. We all lose! An eye for an eye blood in, blood out An eye for an eye blood in, blood out An eye for an eye blood in, blood out An eye for an eye blood in and blood.. I take one step forward and two steps back In the end I feel I’m going nowhere.. Nowhere at all.. An eye for an eye, blood in blood out But in the end I feel I'm going nowhere.. Nowhere at all..

The Raven 03:55
The raven is watching me He’s testing my sanity Why can’t he just leave me be? Nevermore say it back to me Who’s that crashing upon my soul? Blackest December’s darkest rituals Ghostly reminders high upon the shelf Its just the wind and nothing else Nevermore Dead eyes in a threatened gaze Nevermore In chains where I spend my days The raven is watching me He’s testing my sanity Why can’t he just leave me be? Nevermore say it back to me Who’s that drilling into my mind? Distorted versions of what's wrong and right No longer can’t I tell what’s real and lore Demon dreaming tell me I implore So try as I might I can’t escape this room this is my fate All I see is pain all I know is rage I can only taste my hate Leave my loneliness unbroken Leave me down, decayed and hopeless In all black the eyes of demon Demon! Dreaming! Nevermore Release your grip on my heart Nevermore Before you tear me apart The raven is watching me He’s testing my sanity Why can’t he just leave me be? Nevermore say it back to me Nevermore say it back to me Nevermore.. Nevermore Nevermore
