It's such a tired game
The same behavior is being repeated over and over again.

Will it ever stop?
Is there any way for it to come to an end?

How will this all play out
What is the outcome to all this?

Of sight, out of mind now
When something disappears, do we forget about it?

By now, we should know how to communicate instead of coming to blows
We need to learn how to communicate with each other without resorting to violence.

We're on the road and there ain't no stopping us now
We are on a path of destruction without any roadblocks.

We're burning under control
We are controlling the destruction we are causing.

Isn't it strange how we're all burning
It is strange, but we are all causing destruction.

Under the same sun
Although we are different, we are still causing destruction under the same circumstances.

By now, they say if it's a war for peace
People say that if we are fighting for peace, it is the same repetitive behavior we have always demonstrated.

It's the same old game
We keep repeating the same mistakes.

But do we really want to play?
Do we want to keep participating in a destructive game?

We could close our eyes, it's still there
Ignoring the problem does not make it disappear.

We could try but nobody wins
Even if we try to fix the issue, nobody wins in the end.

Gravity has got a hold on us all
There are consequences to our actions.

Could try to put it out
We can attempt to stop the problem.

But it's a growing flame
The problem is getting worse.

Using fear as fuel
We are causing destruction out of fear.

Burning down our name
We are ruining our reputation.

And it won't take too long
The problem will not take long to escalate.

'Cause words all burn the same
Words can cause just as much destruction as actions.

Now who we gonna blame now and all?
Who can we blame for this current situation?

By now, it's beginning to show
We can see the consequences now.

A number of people are numbers that ain't coming home
Many people are not returning home because of the destruction.

Close my mind, be alone
Ignoring the problem and isolating oneself is not the solution.

I could close my heart and not care
Being indifferent to the situation is not the solution.

It's a terrific price to pay
The consequences are severe.

But in the true sense of the word
In the true meaning of the word...

Are we using what we've learned
Are we using the knowledge we have gained?

Are we losing what we were?
Are we losing our true identity?

It's not for me to say
I cannot determine the outcome.

And is it in our blood?
Is the destructive behavior innate?

Or is it just our fate?
Is it predetermined?

And how will this all play out?
What will be the ultimate outcome?

Who we gonna blame all in all?
Who is ultimately responsible for what has happened?

Just the crying, crying, crying shame
It is a great shame what has happened.

It's such a crying, crying, crying shame
It is a terribly sad situation.

Shame, shame, shame
It is a shameful situation.
