100 Generations

100 Generations - ThouShaltNot

We ate our young and never blinked an eye

We carved the subway tunnels and prayed to snipers in the sky

We practiced medicine without knowing how to heal

We killed ourselves in dreams a thousand times

Always believing it was real

We gave birth silently to jargon metal smoke

And mirrors that we kissed until they clouded up and broke

We fed a starving child with an apple's knowing taste

Denying 'till her dying tears the poison with which it had been laced

So father kill your daughter

Mother kill your son

Swallow up the universe

'Till all the killing's done

It happens when you slumber

It happens unaware

Out of every human eye

A hundred generations' stare

So father kill your daughter

Mother kill your son

Swallow up the universe

'Till all the killing's done

It happens when you slumber

It happens unaware

Out of every human eye

A hundred generations' stare

So father kill your daughter

Mother kill your son

Swallow up the universe

'Till all the killing's done

It happens when you slumber

It happens unaware

Out of every human eye

A hundred generations' stare

So father kill your daughter

Mother kill your son

Swallow up the universe

'Till all the killing's done

It happens when you slumber

It happens unaware

Out of every human eye

A hundred generations' stare

A hundred generations' stare

If you lose your eyes ever long you will see

And if you lose your faith ever long you will believe

If you lose your blood ever long no more will you bleed

And if you lose all your desires nevermore will you need

If you lose your light ever long you will glow

If you lose your mind ever long you will know

And if you lose your youth ever long no more will you grow

And if you learn to stand your ground

There'll be nowhere left to go

So father kill your daughter

Mother kill your son

Swallow up the universe

'Till all the killing's done

It happens when you slumber

It happens unaware

Out of every human eye

A hundred generations' stare

So father kill your daughter

Mother kill your son

Swallow up the universe

'Till all the killing's done

It happens when you slumber

It happens unaware

Out of every human eye

So father kill your daughter

Mother kill your son

Swallow up the universe

'Till all the killing's done

It happens when you slumber

It happens unaware

Out of every human eye

A hundred generations' stare

So father kill your daughter

Mother kill your son

Swallow up the universe

'Till all the killing's done

It happens when you slumber

It happens unaware

Out of every human eye

A hundred generations' stare
