Foreverwar

The desire of man is boundless
The thirst for destruction, endless
Break free

When will we believe we’ve dug to the bottom of the barrel?
We’re scraping the floor
There is no more to excavate

We all fight for control
Hand over hand, fist over fist
We all fight for control

Don’t wait. This breath is broken at best, I know you
I’ll take whatever you give
This want, we fail to save this
I know you, I know you

We’ve turned to industry and the thought of progress
Forsaking the natural world, as though silicone and electricity
Could somehow replace the sanctity of this place

Frack the shale, poison the wells
Gut the mountains, and scar the face of the earth
We’re destroying the ground on which we stand

And if there is a soul tied to the heart of man
Would you not want to live to understand?
Break free

Is this war all we’re fighting for?
Could we fight for something more?
Educate the ignorant, returning hate with grace
We could transcend this place where
We all fight for control
We all fight for control

Don’t wait. This breath is broken at best. I know you
I’ll take whatever you give
This want, we fail to save this
I know you, I know you

What have you gained? Was it worth it?

We all fight for something
We all fight
