In the shadows of the skyline,
A thousand voices break the silence,
Hunger's calling, hearts are crying,
But the rich just keep on smiling.
In the streets, we bleed for justice,
While the wars rage, they just adjust us,
Governments, they pull the strings,
Chasing power with empty wings.
Is this the world we've made?
Where souls are sold and dreams are weighed?
Where truth is drowned, and love is late,
In the face of greed, we suffocate.
A slap in the face of humanity,
A world built on lies and vanity,
Where hunger’s the price we pay,
And the blood of the poor just fades away.
A slap in the face, can’t you see?
We're slaves to the system, can't break free,
Trapped in the chains of greed and hate,
A slap in the face of humanity’s fate.
Worship the dollar, worship the crown,
Capitalism's pushing us down,
We trade our souls for silver and gold,
While the homeless freeze in the cold.
Religion tightens its grip, too,
Imposing faith, we can’t break through,
God’s voice used as a weapon to bind,
Freedom of thought left behind.
Is this the world we've made?
Where faith and power both betray?
Where minds are caged, and hearts decay,
In the name of gods, we drift away.
A slap in the face of humanity,
A world built on lies and vanity,
Where hunger’s the price we pay,
And the blood of the poor just fades away.
A slap in the face, can’t you see?
We're slaves to the system, can't break free,
Trapped in the chains of greed and hate,
A slap in the face of humanity’s fate.
The predators feast on our broken dreams,
With hungry eyes, they tear at the seams,
A world of control, a world so cold,
With every lie that’s bought and sold.
A fight for power, a game for fame,
In this twisted world, we’re all the same,
Struggling to breathe, to break the chain,
But we’re just numbers in their cruel game.
A slap in the face, we’re falling apart,
Chasing control, tearing hearts,
Will we rise or fade away?
Only the future can say...
A slap in the face of humanity,
A world that’s lost its dignity.
