This Can't Be Real lyrics

A world where men thrive

A world where they slay so

One another without provocation

For things and ideas illogical

A kingdom of superstitions

Where they bartered themselves

Where they exterminate others

Did children die, did they ever live

What woeful voice ventured in

To poison their hearts, their minds

That creativity and arts well being

Should fall prey to insidious hatred

What dark day or dreary night

Washed away their innocence

And replaced it with such disdain

That stole the glow from their eyes

This can't be real, it can't be so

What reasoning in our evolution

Has failed men so, failed feeling

There is no fair taste to blood

Its bitterness quakes deep

But like a drug without a remedy

Its addiction seems surreal

Intentional destruction sought

And when their end nears them

They find the rest they shared

Shared so willingly, so benumbed

Only agonal breaths to ponder so
