Songtexte Persepolis - Lost in Separation

Worthless

Forever a slave to the war machine

How many years until we show a shred of empathy?
After all what's one more body next to millions?
Gone are the days of greater men
No end in sight
As long as we bear sons that fight

If Heavens just another breath away
Then say a prayer for me
In time you'll see
That there's no one up there listening
Your attempts to ease your guilty conscience are in vain

The greedy hand serves only fools and thieves
Forever a slave to the war machine

They'll come crawling on hand and knees awaiting judgement day
Begging mercy for their sins
But the devil all along is them

Murderers can't you hear them screaming?
Ask yourself do you not know death when you see it?

Born into war
We will weather the storm
You can't dig deep enough to bury as all

If Heavens just another breath away
Then say a prayer for me
In time you'll see
That there's no one up there listening
Your attempts to ease your guilty conscience are in vain
Hell is just a breath away
So say a fucking prayer for me
In time you'll see
That there's no one up there listening
Your attempts to ease your guilty conscience are in vain

The greedy hand serves only fools and thieves
Forever a slave to the war machine
