Doomed to Repeat

lyrics

Wild flowers bloom
[Pluck their petals for the moon]
Each one sang it's identity
[Onto floors of scorched graves]
And born with it the specters
[That lost all that brought it whole]
A soulless void once more deployed
[To ground as worn as coal]
And faded as the earth that cries
[We walk across in haunted sighs]

You lied for genocide
Sing to us, your everything

I wish we ran
[After your shadow]
I wish for you
[Entombed]

Cities of forgotten age
[Crumbled, pulled, paved]
The whispers of tranquility
[Replaced by nobility]
A tale of all consumption
[Adults, children, new corruption]
The wild flowers bloom
[Picked petals swing & swoon]
Bring around a new age
[With sacrifice at centre stage]

You lied for genocide
Sing to us, your everything

I wish I ran
[After your shadow]
I wish for you, entombed
I wish-

You pressed on old grounds
And marked our value
You took these lives
And plunged them down
A thought of ill will
Struggling, fighting, still

The smile in your sleep
Slipped down beneath
The comfort of cold gazes
The death of the blameless
A middle class fascist
Rots from within
With spit, and pride
A monster of genocide
