Easter Is Cancelled
I die in vain
I have lived to no avail
The path forks before you
Drive in the final nail
A thousand years of chaos
And a thousand more
Pestilence and famine
Violence and war
Rise of the arseclowns
Burning everything
We cannot trust the air we breathe
And the birds no longer sing
Easter is cancelled
No more death and no rebirth
Peace on planet earth
Easter is cancelled
And the children do not dance
Give the world a chance
Peace
Time
Peace on planet earth
Huh
Tell me children
Can you live with what you've done?
Aren't you disgusted
By what you have become?
Mesmerized by evil, feasting on their lies
Too high on the smell of your own fear to realize
Spreading disease so they can sell the cure
Goodness is always diluted, evil is always pure
Easter is cancelled
No more death and no rebirth
Peace on planet earth
Easter is cancelled
And the children do not dance
Give the world a chance
You wait a lifetime for an angel
Demons tearing you apart
Consequences of betrayal
In the end you break your own heart
Easter is cancelled
No more death and no rebirth
Peace on planet earth
Easter is cancelled
And the children do not dance
Give the world a chance
