Paralysis

Gunpowder and blood, inherited from our fathers Reduced to run away, reduced to escape from facing fears This legacy of pain left us paralyzed and silent Watching rulers rule and children die: this is a game where these are the rules Prayers in their book told generations to watch and no to live Fathers told sons not to look, not to bear Keep repeating your prayers, they’ll save your soul Keep living this common prayer, this is all we’re left to know Keep repeating you prayers, but I won’t be listening Walking and living this nightmare in black and white
