Lyrics Watch the World Burn - Shard

TV screen explodes in action
Shows us worldly fears
News reels gauging our reaction
Mother's floods of tears
Father's rage at government
Lethargy toward this mess
Little does he realize
He acts just like the rest

Some people simply like to
Watch the world burn
To feel the fire inside their souls
Spark their inactive fury
While on the monitors
The war takes its toll
Are we truly human anymore?

Papers stirring up suspicion
On whom can we depend?
Charities move into position
They we shall defend
All-consuming apathy
And indecision kills
"We must never act rashly"
Our grist for the mill

Some people simply like to
Watch the world burn
To feel the fire inside their souls
Spark their inactive fury
While in the photographs
The war takes its toll
Are we truly human anymore?

Their lives now lie in cinders
And they have nowhere else to go
They cross the world to see us
We have no sympathy to show
The seeds of paranoia
Begin to blossom in our minds
"We can and will not help you
Don't have the space, don't got the time"

The fear of not knowing
If hostilities will rise
"There's no place for you here"
Say the men in pinstriped ties
Our conscience dictated
By leaders, press and peers
Our attention fixated
By one unfounded fear

Some people simply like to
Watch the world burn
To feel the fire inside their souls
Spark their inactive fury
While half the world away
The war takes its toll

Some people shirk their duty
Convince the masses
To not care who lives or dies
We've all been grossly lied to
Now is the time
To see the fear within them rise
Are we truly human anymore?
