Of diamond violence
Secret keepers of the flame
Diamond violence
I don't know what this world
Is coming to, is coming to
I don't know what this world
Is coming to
I don't know what this world
Is coming to, is coming to
I don't know what this world
Is coming to
I'm not satisfied
I wish I were more alive to possibility
I'm not satisfied
This diamond violence is cutting into my life
It hurts my heart
I wish I were half as smart as I used to be
I can't play my role
This diamond violence is cutting into my soul
I'm not satisfied
I'd like to be more alive to possibility
I'm not satisfied
This diamond violence is cutting into my life
Cutting into my life
Cutting into my life
Cutting into my life
I'm face to face with this
Diamond violence
Diamond violence
Diamond violence
Diamond violence
I'm face to face with this
Diamond violence - it's a real thing, a real thing
Diamond violence - it's a real thing
It's a real thing, a real thing
Diamond violence - it's a real thing
I don't know what this world
Is coming to, is coming to
I don't know what this world
Is coming to
I don't know what this world
Is coming to, is coming to
I don't know what this world
Is coming to
