Casualty - Polaris

They broke our backs against the pavement

They ground our teeth down to the bone

The hung us high and bled us dry

Left to die here, defenseless and alone

In the dark

Like a forest fire waiting for a hint of spark

Take up your arms, sharpen your knives

They gave their very last chance when they gave

Our lives away

Words betray us in the native tongues we speak

When power corrupts the strong, false hope

Contends all weak

Break the confines, brace us for the flood

Raining from the heavens with the force of seven gods

On us all

(We were all fixated on ego)

All our lives, just a drop in the ocean

One more nail in the coffin, straight into the dirt

Born to die, it’s the final debt that we pay

The stain on your hands that can’t be washed away

(Can't be washed away)

A permanent solution, a moral absolution

The guilty many, the new disorder

The bloody hand leads the lam to the slaughter

I heard them laugh as their eyes rolled back

Raising a glass as their hearts turned black

Drowning the guilt

Tyrant, how can you stand by their graves?

Not all can be saved

A wasted chance to set things straight

A change of heart that came too late

Out of sight and out of mind

We are the ones you left behind

Can you hear the sound

(A wasted chance to set things straight)

Piercing the silence ringing out

(A change of heart that came too late)

As we feed the ground

(Out of sight and out of mind)

We are the ones you left behind

All our lives, just a drop in the ocean

One more nail in the coffin, straight into the dirt

Born to die, it’s the final debt that we pay

The stain on your hands that can’t be washed away

We are the ones you left behind

(We are the ones you left behind)
