Trial - Cycle Of Cruelty lyrics

rate me

Why do we accept violence in the name of tradition?

Break out of this cycle of cruelty

Deception and domination walk together hand in hand

I won't take part anymore

When the answer is right before our eyes

How could we let ourselves become so fucking blind

To the need for a commitment to compassion?

We cut our own throats when we live without respect for life

It's coming around...

All our excuses are just conditioning

Forced into our minds passed down long enough

That we've turned away from all rationality

The slaughter of the innocents goes unmentioned

While murder is condemned everyday

The screams of the tortured are ignored or accepted

But never questioned

Is this how we're to live in this world?

Face the truth: man did not weave the web of life,

He is merely a strand in it-

Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself...

A violent hand has assumed control to satisfy demand

Providing us with what we're made to think we need to survive

And while we thrive on ignorance... indifference... the blood flows

We've got to make the choice to realize

These lives mean so much more

Break out of the cycle

In the midst of chaos we have no explanation

And exploitation with no consideration is our crime

In the age of progress and unrestrained advancement

We demand respect for those

All those we refuse to leave behind
