An era is coming to an end
Where is the source of my sacrifice?
You sit in the lounge room trying to pretend
Like you have no clue

When bombs set ablaze the hot sand
My fellow man cheered the rival and raved
Living in hate just to see those who pray
Deserve what they get

The children are born in old age
They are the next in this war yet your brain
Refuses belief this exists even when
It’s pushed in your face

If you hear, see, taste, touch and you smell
But defend this new order, oh well
You’re as good as a mascot for hell
You’re not a human being

For the end of an era is nigh
So how do you identify
When the sides are defined and aligned
To something you’ve never seen?

Your faith in yourself’s wearing thin
Next thing you know you are bent on your knees
Telling your government all of your sins
Like they must forgive

The presidents and kings you devote
Your trust and your patience in only receive
A part-time position to publicly speak
The rest is a show

If office decides what is done
Yet it requires a monetary fund
If banks don’t belong to the constitution
Who’s word is the end?

If you hear, see, taste, touch and you smell
But defend this new order, oh well
You’re as good as a mascot for hell
You’re not a human being

For the end of an era is nigh
So how do you identify
When the sides are defined and aligned
To something you’ve never seen?

You can scratch your head til you are bald
Turn to a truth you’re more comfortable with
Come to accept that we live in a world
That pays just to breathe

Hist’ry is carried by tongue
We’re not supposed to remember what happened
We just support what was fiction was done
To learn the wrong lesson

Before you repose in your place
Comfort’s as thin as the skin on your face
Take to account what I’ve done and I’ve said
By now I am dead

If you hear, see, taste, touch and you smell
But defend this new order, oh well
You’re as good as a mascot for hell
You’re not a human being

For the end of an era is nigh
So how do you identify
When the sides are defined and aligned
To something you’ve never seen?

Alone in the world, how’s it feel?
Where were your hands in the struggle for freedom?
Were those IQ points devoted to steal
What naivety left?

The beast is abroad and at strength
Would you agree with the Lord in the end?
Be it with ease when you’re wishing for death
Refusing to yield

So steal back your soul at the close
Let it be chosen for those who still choose
To bring the guilty to justice exposed –
We are in the Vuuz

If you hear, see, taste, touch and you smell
But defend this new order, oh well
You’re as good as a mascot for hell
You’re not a human being

For the end of an era is nigh
So how do you identify
When the sides are defined and aligned
To something you’ve never seen?
