Hold Your Fire

Countries in the distance Unpronounceable city names A leader's ink to paper A million souls endowed with pain Oh, hold your fire! Can't you see? Today's indifference could forever your conscience burn No. Can't ignore it Got to fight the effective anesthesia of our TVs Cycles of destruction on repeat foolish human animal New generations emulate our wrongs What have we done? Now! Hold your fire Can't you see? You take their hope Their innocence There’s no return No. Can't ignore it Got to fight the collective amnesia of what this means Just when you feel you've seen it all Terror from above begins to fall Shaking the foundations of this reality While this spooky roundabout It brings us right around again to the same old place Country names are closer now With pronounceable city names Hear the sirens blaring A million eyes opening wide
