Aaron Traffas - Scatter And Succumb Lyrics

They said that we should be silent
They said that it was their turn
They said that only they could fix the mess we made
Then we watched the world burn
They started to dismantle
They were vicious. They were reckless
With rescinded liberties and institutions under siege
We became feckless

They closed their eyes as the mad king built his throne
We covered our hearts as they slowly turned to stone
They abandoned all pretences as our consciences grew numb
When it'd come time to change the world we'd scatter and succumb

We tried to be defiant
To nevertheless persist
Their tenor of debate and distrust of the fourth estate
Was too much to resist
If only we were stronger
Or their ideas weren't discordant
Now their walls hoard their gold, their stomachs full, our children cold
We found their avarice abhorrent

Oooooh, they normalized the fear that kept us out of the streets
Oooooh, now it's too late. Their conspiracy is complete
Oooooh, we'd compromise and not recognize who we'd become
Oooooh, we've grown too dumb to adapt and overcome
When the mountaintops are islands and the damage forever done
We had our chance to save the world but we'd scatter and succumb
