     Our world is shrouded in mist 
     Cold, and full of gloom 
     Everyday, another death 
     And everything full of doom 

     The guns ring loud and clear 
     Echoing throughout the streets 
     Sounds of screaming rent the air 
     It’s often an unwelcome treat 

     Violence patrols our lives 
     Inflicting damage where it may 
     And many victims go to sleep 
     Never to wake up the next day 

     The world revolves around power 
     Lies and constant stealth 
     And those who have the influence 
     Happen to have all the wealth 

     The world focuses on confusion 
     And there’s no place to run and hide 
     So we have to live it through 
     The deadly secret lying inside 

     We know what’s really true 
     Yet we deny it all the same 
     We can’t accept the problems of our world 
     Or the problems that can maim
