The Inheritance
Brighter Than A Thousand Suns

Take this burning home

Our blood runs hot

But our hearts are cold


These blackened skies and poison seas

Stain our souls

Yet our hands are clean

Is this our legacy?


Money matters most

To buy us demons

To turn us into gods


But if money mattered most

Our bottom line

Should buy us hope


Instead we leave you alone

To take this burden

Off our fragile bones


We hand down this mess

To the heirs of our indifference

We pass this torch with shame


For you to put out the flames


So hold your breath and bite your tongues

Daughters and our sons

We leave our own flesh and blood

Work we left undone


Cast the flame

And lay to waste

The future for today


Mother nature raped

In mankind's wake

This is a disgrace

And makes our children slaves to our mistakes

But we turn the other way

For you to douse these flames


We take to the grave

A world that's up to you to save

Lyrics by Brighter Than A Thousand Suns

  A Creature Bred On Hunger Made Food For Hungry God...   Crossing The Divide   Invisible   Sitting on a Time Bomb in Free Fall   Survival Machines   The Riot Of Our Blood And Breath   Walls Made of Glass   Warcry
