hell rises with the nation

The dust chokes every gasp we try to take, A silent scream for goodness' sake. This ground beneath our feet feels strange, A broken promise, a chilling exchange. How can this world be so unkind? Leaving peace and hope and light behind. Our very earth, it's torn and scarred, Every hopeful future barred Oh, the world is falling, falling down, A hollow echo in this broken town. Our loved ones' lives, a fragile, fading thread, While shadows lengthen, fill with dreadful dread. And starvation, starvation's cruel tune, Is the only song beneath this dying moon. They cage us in these familiar streets, Where freedom's memory softly retreats. Held captive on our native soil, Our birthright stolen, lost to endless toil. The fences rise, the walls grow tall, Watching everything we cherished fall. We fought for liberty, for grace, Now only terror in each haunted face. Oh, this world is falling, falling down, A hollow echo in this broken town. Our loved ones' lives, a fragile, fading thread, While shadows lengthen, fill with dreadful dread. And starvation, starvation's cruel tune, Is the only song beneath this dying moon. How can the sun still dare to shine? When all we know is intertwined With suffering and endless plight? We stumble through this endless night. Is there no hand that saves us now? No green to break this barren bough? No dawn to break this heavy spell? Just silenced cries, a final farewell. Oh, this world is falling, falling down, A hollow echo in this broken town. Our loved ones' lives, a fragile, fading thread, While shadows lengthen, fill with dreadful dread. And starvation, starvation's cruel tune, Is the only song beneath this dying moon. Starvation's song, a lullaby of pain, Washing over us like poisoned rain. The new, grim anthem... A shattered earth... The world falls apart... Starvation... the new song.
