Back into the Ocean Lyrics

Sympathy - compassion
So much valued by the rightful and just
Is the foundation of every morality
Only if it won't be pleaded for
Else it is just another shape of scorn
Built on the backs of the suffering majority
Or once taken from them by force
Taken by us the privileged ones
Accustomed to a history of opulence
We can not tolerate their longing
For they must not claim what is unrightfully ours
And so we readily accuse the deprived
Of taking from us
A man is only a man
And every man for himself
The sanctity of life we vow to protect
With no other solutions than fences and walls
To uphold sustainable slavery on which
Our sovereignty depends on
Mercy for the mighty
Misery for the poor
An exploited majority
For the well-being of the few
Sympathy for the oppressor
Disgust for the abused
Hiding behind the walls of angst
Protected in our fortress of fear
Entrapped in the prisons of greed
To dismiss an opportunity of empathy
Grub first, then morals
Red lines drawn are red lines crossed
If you finally manage to compete the waves
We gladly push you back into the ocean
