State of The Nation

from Dragon's Blood by One Eight Seven

lyrics

I’ll say a prayer for everyone involved
I never knew that our world would be dissolved
This was our home, a place of peace
Now it’s all just ashes and debris
We try so hard yet we always fail
We always end up in service or in jail
We never wanted all your hate
But now you’ve left us with no other way

I see the sky lighting up
I see our world crashing down
All that we wanted was a home
Now all we have is dying out

We live a life full of lies
All around us everyone is dying
You have your talks of reconciling guilt
But there’s no escaping what you’ve built
We struggle on to find our way
But you break us down everyday
How are we ever to advance
When every day is the same old dance

I see the sky lighting up
I see our world crashing down
All that we wanted was a home
Now all we have is dying out

This is the state of the nation
