A continent on fire
A crumbling empire
A climate of distress
Violently manifests unrest
Our failure and our shame now in plain sight
We can't escape the blame
We're blinded by the light
The karmic crash of centuries of pain
The city and the forest burning all the same
(In flames)

Our boots upon their necks
Our privileges unchecked
Blowback effect
The f*ck did we expect

The f*ck did we expect
Fury unbound
Injustice so profound
A boiling melting pot on stolen ground
The blood of empire spills over the sides
Can't fight the current of the turning tide
We drown
Our comforts only serve to weigh us down
A continent on fire
A crumbling empire
We fail to reconcile the guilt
For all the blood we've spilt
Look what we've built
We're all looking for easy answers
We all want to make order from chaos
But like praying to stop a cancer
Our impotent methods betray us
Our beliefs confine us
Let our grief define us
With the consequence of our negligence
Lurking just behind us
We can drink to the future
We can toast to a brand new day
But the hands of the butcher
Leave a stain we can't wash away
We can't wipe the disgrace from our name

Our crimes too numerous to count
An incalculable amount
Condemned to reap what we have sown
This bitter fruit that we have grown

The pendulum swings back
The echo of the whip still cracks
The chains still rattling
The blood it boils black
