Scars - Metal Allegiance, Cristina Scabbia, Mark Osegueda

Scars from all my lessons learned

Theft of my possessions earned

Cautionary tale of woe

You reap what you sew

Fallen in the land I call home

I look into a future unknown

Lost is the race we’ve become

There’s nowhere left to run

From massive repression

And passive aggression

The world spins on

Mother earth has cried

Our hope is gone

The innocence has died

You’ll stand, you’ll fall

Only the strong survive

Convicted prisoner

Sentenced to this life

Winter of my discontent

Broken promise never meant

Once was blind but now I see

I’ve got to be free

Hounds, they won’t leave me alone

Gnaw my spirit of flesh to the bone

Howling away as they go

And the blood starts to flow

No pacification

From this indignation

The world spins on

Mother earth has cried

Our hope is gone

The innocence has died

You’ll stand, you’ll fall

Only the strong survive

Convicted prisoner

Sentenced to this life

Consolation is bitter

Pill to swallow

Pearls of wisdom fall

With nothing left to lose

You’ve got to listen to

The voices deep inside you

Your path is written by

The methods that you choose

The world spins on

Mother earth has cried

Our hope is gone

The innocence has died

You’ll stand, you’ll fall

Only the strong survive

Convicted prisoner

Sentenced to this life

Massive repression

The world spins on

Passive aggression

When Mother Earth

Has cried

No pacification

All hope is gone

From this indignation

The innocence has died
