Half Mast

The sun, its silent trial
Concludes in emptiness
Is it death that your scared of
Or the fact you've never lived
Inject the meaning of your shattered life
Now scale the blackened heights
To your sad demise

The nights burnt offering, a joke and a syringe, the blindness
While children starve in vain, we get high on their pain, addict
The media feeds on it, it's how they get their kicks, contradict
The rules just don't apply, a smile and a lie will get you everything

Just another half-mast  [x2]

Another 20 children dead, you hang on every word, but soon forget
Another lie another day, close your eyes and turn away, who'll be next
Is control a state of mind, or are we so fucking blind, to think we own it
As the earth circles mammon, we've had our day in the sun, now fade away

What's freedom without choice? What's life without voice?
I breathe the free air and remain nameless...
