Greet the world of hate
Mechanisms of despair
Kickoff your life unprepared for a
Wasteland malevolent
Taking your first steps
Illustrating innocence
They look into your tiny eyes and see the
Future of a broken man
First (last) line of defense (of defense)
Imperiled now that you're aware (now you're aware)
There's more evil in this world than sand
(Don't pray) Apathy (will sway)
There's nothing left
(But to, say)
Answer hate with a thousandfold hate
Scars don't fade away
Confusion accumulates
Judged by those you treated bad
Even though they did the same
Recognize mistakes
Life turned around, efforts made
Never will there be enough proof
The shepherd boy and the wolf
First (last) line of defense (of defense)
Imperiled now that you're aware (now you're aware)
There's more evil in this world than sand
(Don't pray) Apathy (will sway)
There's nothing left
(But to, say)
Answer hate with a thousandfold hate
Welcoming your death
Stories raise you up to Seth
This bitter taste clenches your heart
Values falling apart
Few of those remain
Who can go against the grain
Can really tell the right from wrong
And bear the strength for what has to be done
First (last) line of defense (of defense)
Imperiled now that you're aware (now you're aware)
There's more evil in this world than sand
(Don't pray) Apathy (will sway)
There's nothing left
(But to, say)
Answer hate with a thousandfold hate
(Last) line of defense (of defense)
Torn down now that I forgive (now I forgive)
People who like me just want to live
(I pray) Apathy (away)
There's nothing left
(But to, say)
Answer hate a different way today
