Path To Destruction

Where is the honor and justice?
I fail to see
Distorted perception of liberty
From violence we came and to violence return
An unending pattern, will we ever learn?
A system designed to fail
Weighing justice on broken scales
Wait for the hammer to strike the nail
Our system was designed to fail

And though we're burning the candle at both ends
These walls are still closing in
The same cycles repeating again and again
These walls are still closing in
In denial, we suffer as we just pretend
That these walls aren't closing in
The same cycles repeat again
These walls are still closing in

Bought with the promises of wealth and gold
And now we're drowning in a debt that's owed
So many years of greed and corruption
We're on the path to destruction
We're on the path to destruction
Our system was designed to fail

And though we're burning the candle at both ends
These walls are still closing in
The same cycles repeating again and again
These walls are still closing in
In denial, we suffer as we just pretend
That these walls aren't closing in
The same cycles repeat again
These walls are still closing in

Where is the honor and justice?
I fail to see
Distorted perception of liberty
From violence we came and to violence return
An unending pattern, will we ever learn?
No, we will never learn
We will never learn, the cycle repeats
To violence, we return
One day this all will burn
Heads in the sand, bodies in the street
Unloyal, self-serving
Blind to the ones they refuse to see
They refuse to see

And though we're burning the candle at both ends
These walls are still closing in
The same cycles repeating again and again
These walls are still closing in
In denial, we suffer as we just pretend
That these walls aren't closing in
The same cycles repeat again
These walls are still closing in
