Mercy of Ignorance - Artillery

So it has come to this

You scurry under our feet

A second peace is bliss

Amidst refuse you must eat

Living and dying — without remembrance

Living and dying — at the mercy of ignorance

So you have become the neglected

By the system rejected

Happy if we don’t see you

Denial thy name is hero

On hands and knees

A broken song, a broken dance

Your life is dust at the mercy of ignorance

Nothing to soothe your pain

Drugs to numb your brain

A hole in your arm and a hole in your heart

A losing game from the very start
