Senseless Things lyrics

What great pleasure is there

In the defeat of others?

To trade lives uninvolved

For pride that time will take

Committed to anonymity

That oblivion affords a sinner

Warfare is the human path

The nature of the beast

Malice that gives no sustenance

A glutton with an empty gut

An unceasing need to feed

With no limit to ambition

They confirm their greatness

By barbaric bartering

Seen at a distance, brief glances

Their glory is fleeting

Our conflicts are lifelong

Blinded by devout duty

Mere men playing God

Lives are trash trivial

Without faces, or names

No tears to wipe dry

Nor spade to tend

Dirt mounds, desolation

Do not look for fairness

There is no nobility here

Only denial, loss and tears

For here are only questions

That go on unanswered

About such senseless things
