Corrosion of Conformity - Damned For All Time lyrics

rate me

They say they live their lives with purity

Only looking through the whites of their eyes

One nation under God, just like protectory

Are they really hearing the third world cries?

History repeats itself

Self-emulation breeding prosperity

As the nation grows, the brotherhood dies

"Free as a bird" are words meant for you and me

Words that never fit between the lies

History repeats itself

I was born in a nightmare - didn't have a choice

No one seems to listen to 'cos no one seems to

hear my voice

I am but one of billions - teaming faceless legions

Damned to repeat the crimes of those who went before

(Chorus)

The teeth in the gears of the killing machine

Are getting sharper as time moves on

As the politician's wingtip presses on the gas

A thousand soldiers will soon be gone

Plowing through the land to annihlate for peace

Another war child is spawned

Sowing seeds of destruction in the name of the beast

Damned for all time

Burning future remembers the smoldering past

Just a cruel lesson - chalked-up experience

Life is a sin when it begins in an iron mask

Die if you try using your biased sense

History repeats itself

Rivers of corruption flowing way too fast

Racing to pollute for their own greed

Malnutritioned wings don't have the strength to last

Fight to the death over one last seed

History repeats itself

I am a witness to all that is and all that should not be

I am cursed with a vision that forces me to see

Sometimes I prayto an unmoving void

For the day that I may close my eyes to

the horror which fills me inside

(Chorus)

Damned for all time...
