In everyone I see, I see the failure of the fathers.
In everyone I meet, I see the light behind their eyes has died.
All our gods have failed (every god has failed),
And we’re the ones they blame (steeped in guilt and shame).
Our leaders are corrupt (servants of the rich),
The world has gone insane (chaos and bloodshed).

With everyone fighting and everyone hurting
And everyone wanting and everyone hoping
And everyone trying and nothing is working
And slowly we’re making the earth as it is in hell.

And they expect us to save the world they made a mess of.

In our world of hate (there is no escape),
We’ll do anything for love (insatiable desire).
We pass down our disease (inject into their minds),
From the parent to the child (innocence defiled).

We feed them our fears and we feed them our hatred
We show them our anger and make them obey us
We promise them hope and we fill them with dreams
And we show them our gods but instead all they see is the

Failures of the fathers, mistakes of the mothers.
The failures of the fathers, the lies of the priests.
The failures of the fathers, betrayals of the leaders.
The failures of the fathers, and the light in their eyes, dies.

Now every father is a failed god, burning with anger and punishing sin.
And every mother is a failed goddess, capricious and fickle and turning her back.
And every child is a broken dream, a promise the gods could never keep,
Trying to find a new path to peace and failing, failing.

In everyone I see, in everyone I see.
In everyone I see, in everyone I see.
In everyone I see, in everyone I see.
In everyone I see, in everyone I see.

Failures of the fathers, mistakes of the mothers.
The failures of the fathers, the lies of the priests.
The failures of the fathers, betrayals of the leaders.
The failures of the fathers, our failures, failures.

For thousands of years we’ve been raping and killing
To honor our gods and the truths we believe in
Our words are so noble our causes so righteous
And slowly we’re making the earth as it is in hell.

On earth as it is in hell. On earth as it is in hell.
