On Parade
Pro-Pain Lyrics

Now we've seen it all before
Having witnessed violent and destructive behavior in the past, we are not surprised to see it happening again.

And there will come a time
It is inevitable that history will repeat itself and we will experience similar events in the future.

When we'll see it all again
We will witness the same atrocities we have seen before, demonstrating our inability to move beyond this destructive behavior.

Frown upon a distant shore
We look upon foreign lands with disapproval, and are willing to go to great lengths to enforce our beliefs upon them.

With intent to pulverize
Our violent actions towards other nations are not accidental, but are carried out with the purpose of causing destruction and chaos.

And sacrifice our men
We are willing to risk the lives of our soldiers in order to further our own interests and agendas.

We live
As humans, we continue to exist day by day.

We learn
We acquire knowledge through our experiences and reflect on the lessons they impart.

To love this senseless on parade
Despite our understanding of the violence and destruction caused by war, we continue to glorify and celebrate it.

What now? we've taken it too far
We have let things escalate to the point of no return, and are unsure of what to do next.

We'd drawn and crossed the line
We have gone beyond the acceptable limits of behavior, violating the moral and ethical boundaries set by society.

Like no one else before
Our actions have surpassed those of previous generations, demonstrating a continual progression towards more extreme violence and destruction.

Is this a test of who we are?
Our decisions and actions in times of conflict reveal our true character and values.

Then we must not forget
We must remember the lives lost and the impact of our violent actions, rather than simply moving on and forgetting about them.

Our casualties of war
The soldiers who have lost their lives, as well as their families and communities, are the true victims of war.

Throw us up against that wall
We have been forced into a challenging and difficult situation, where we must fight for our lives or face the consequences of defeat.

Objections overruled they've got us by the balls
Despite our protests and objections, those in power hold all the control and are able to manipulate and use us for their own purposes.

We just never seem to learn that
As a society, we continually make the same mistakes and fail to learn from past experiences and tragedies.

Our country tis of thee sweet land
Our nation, which was once a symbol of peace, freedom, and prosperity, has become mired in violence and conflict.

Of crash and burn
Our nation is headed towards an inevitable and catastrophic downfall, due to our inability to overcome our destructive tendencies.

We live
We continue to exist in a world where violence and destruction abound.

We learn
We seek to understand the reasons behind this violence and find ways to prevent it in the future.

We love this senseless on parade
Despite our best efforts to stop it, we still find ourselves fascinated and drawn to the destructive power of war and violence.
