They say they live their lives with purity  Only looking through the whites of their eyes  One nation under God, just like protectory  Are they really hearing the third world cries?  History repeats itself  Self-emulation breeding prosperity  As the nation grows, the brotherhood dies  "Free as a bird" are words meant for you and me  Words that never fit between the lies  History repeats itself  I was born in a nightmare - didn't have a choice  No one seems to listen to 'cos no one seems to   hear my voice  I am but one of billions - teaming faceless legions  Damned to repeat the crimes of those who went before  (Chorus)  The teeth in the gears of the killing machine  Are getting sharper as time moves on  As the politician's wingtip presses on the gas  A thousand soldiers will soon be gone  Plowing through the land to annihlate for peace  Another war child is spawned  Sowing seeds of destruction in the name of the beast  Damned for all time  Burning future remembers the smoldering past  Just a cruel lesson - chalked-up experience  Life is a sin when it begins in an iron mask  Die if you try using your biased sense  History repeats itself  Rivers of corruption flowing way too fast  Racing to pollute for their own greed  Malnutritioned wings don't have the strength to last  Fight to the death over one last seed  History repeats itself  I am a witness to all that is and all that should not be  I am cursed with a vision that forces me to see  Sometimes I prayto an unmoving void  For the day that I may close my eyes to   the horror which fills me inside  (Chorus)  Damned for all time...
