Pain Of Salvation - Handful Of Nothing Lyrics
[Music: D.Gildenlow]'In time of war the first casualty is truth.' 'What broke in a man when hecould bring himself to kill another?'We've seen it before but safe on our suburb screensNow I am here in the fleshA witness of war in this godforsaken sceneFar from those grey wallsSee children with guns hatred and fear in their eyesThey shoot to release their painA conflict to solve no matter if someone diesProtecting our interests...Look around, soon there'll be but ruins to be foundWinner will be the last that standsLethal moves in a game of chess for the depravedKing or Pawn? Are you worth to save?(What is the prize for this game we play?)(And who are the ones that finally pay?)If we eat more we'll get a handful of nothingWe'll be swallowing dirtIf we push more we'll get a fistful of enoughWe'll be swallowing bloodThey told me that we could actually save human livesThat armies would preserve the peaceAnd my work would save, solve and build bondsOnly lies!And I fed their wallets...It's strange how we speak of civilised viewsWhile we buy that media warface they sellA makeup for "Them" so we can decide who's to dieCause we love it easy:Here they are - take a good look at the beasts of war!Let the rain wash that paint away:Deep inside everyone's a mothers little childLonging home, lost and led astrayAnd we prey on this decay!If we eat more we'll get a handful of nothingWe'll be left with the dirtIf we push more we'll get a fistful of enoughI leave this machine...I left my life to ease my painBut I cannot find that cleansing rain...Look around soon there'll be but ruins to be foundWe can change - it's all in our minds...[-D. Gildenlow]Step by step hate controls every heart every soulEvery gun pointed at those we paint as EnemiesWe provide what they need to let the game proceedStuck in machines somewhere we build the cross they bearArm to solve, kill to save... God I've felt how it smells!"My land's my home" - we're blind!I'm sick of the blood I find!Step by step greed controls every heart every soulArm to kill, kill to live - God how could I believe...
