Thoughts and Prayers Songtext
von Aaru

Drowning screams in the throes of violence
Crying children met with silence
Hands stained with the blood of your kin
Another day in the paradise of your sin

The dollar molds your minds, breeds inaction
Close your eyes as we complete the transaction
When will you swallow your pride, your excuses
You′re not above the pain your world produces

So young yet so numb to calamity
Hide the truth under a thin veil of vanity
You are the very definition of insanity

A world view, fabricated by a few
Who rule, those who control you
Sit in silence as society tears
Post your pathetic thoughts and prayers


Oh how the mighty have fallen
Standing idle as you get walled in
Lock yourselves in your echo chamber
The noise just grows, feeding your anger

The walls all rise by a formal decree
Oh what a shame for the land of the free

A few rise from the flood of the ignorance
Try to speak but are silenced by permanence
Crowds drowned by the cry of battle
Resonance from the emptiest barrel

A world view, fabricated by a few
Who rule, those you look up to
Sit in silence as society tears
Post your pathetic thoughts and prayers
Post your pathetic thoughts and prayers
Sit in silence as society tears,
Fuck your pathetic thoughts and prayers

Wake up, smell your hipocrisy
You call this shitshow a democracy
Cast your vote, heads or tails
A front row seat to when the system fails


Sit in silence as society tears
Fuck your pathetic thoughts and prayers
