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
