Contravene - A World With No Future lyrics

rate me

In a world with no future

And in a time that made no sense

Existence had stopped and stood still

Factories pumping the weapons of wartime

Made with intention to kill

Now, we're a nuclear wasteland

A world full of hatred

We sat and watched it all go by

News breaking coverage of the people all dying

And no one ever asked why

What will we tell the children?

Will there be any left to hear?

Will the children be able to listen?

Or will they all be hiding in fear?

There's a man on the TV, talking away

Telling the death toll for today

But no one is watching

Nobody is listening

Cause they've all been taken away

Stuck in the camps or handed machine guns

They were told to fight for a cause

Now they're killing their brothers and they're killing

Their mothers

To keep their own lives from being lost.

Over time, the numbers had increased

The flesh piles stacked up high

Nothing will change, unless we are to change it

And the dying will continue to die

What will we tell the children?

Will there be any left to hear?

Will the children be able to listen?

Or will they all be hiding in fear?

What happened to all of the children?

What stories will we have left to be said?

How will the children hear them?

Once all the children are dead...
