The Price is Life

from Diatribe by Unkempt Herald

/

lyrics

Terror it roars through the air
they smile as it rolls
what was burning in their field now fills all our homes
they think that they're winners
but who told them this was a game show, i know they say that how it goes
but i wont acknowledge the message that bleeds from their throats

you look that way i'll go this way
its the price we pay for the life that we love
you look this way ill point that way
down a long and fearful road

we all felt so safe behind our walls so big and tall
we never thought that it could all come down and kill us all
with bits of information leaking through the stones
it cracks and splinters the bone

you look that way ill go this way
its the price we pay for the life that we love
you look this way ill point that way down a long and fearful road


we claim to be heros as we rush in to save
then hand over swords so they can fall upon the blades
denial sets in bolstered by the patriotic will
we never set the bone we just hobbled down the hill
we all close our eyes to the terror we perceive
we all know it feels better when we cannot see them bleed

did it just hit you?
its a system of control
it should shake the very core of everything you hold
nothing is sacred is a message from the weak
ill stand up and fight after they cut me at the knees
