Handful Of Nothing Lyrics & Chords By Pain Of Salvation

We've seen it before but safe on our suburb screens
Now I am here in the flesh
A witness of war in this godforsaken scene
Far from those grey walls
See children with guns hatred and fear in their eyes
They shoot to release their pain
A conflict to solve no matter if someone dies
Protecting our interests

Look around, soon there'll be but ruins to be found (What is the prize)
Winner will be the last that stands (For the games we play?)
Lethal moves in a game of chess for the depraved (And who are the ones)
King or Pawn? Are you worth to save? (That finally play?)

If we eat more we'll get a handful of nothing
We'll be swallowing dirt
If we push more we'll get a fistful of enough
We'll be swallowing blood

They told me that we could actually save human lives
That armies would preserve the peace
And my work would save, solve and build bonds
Only lies
And I fed their wallets

It's strange how we speak of civilized views
While we buy that media warface they sell
A makeup for them so we can decide who's to die
Cause we love it easy

Here they are, take a good look at the beasts of war
Let the rain wash that paint away
Deep inside everyone's a mothers little child
Longing home, lost and led astray
And we prey on this decay

If we eat more we'll get a handful of nothing
We'll be left with the dirt
If we push more we'll get a fistful of enough
I leave this machine

I left my life to ease my pain
But I cannot find (Look around, soon there'll be but ruins to be found)
that cleansing rain (We can change, it's all in our minds)

Step by step, hate controls every heart every soul
Every gun pointed at those we paint as enemies
We provide what they need to let the game proceed
Stuck in machines somewhere, we build the cross they bear
Arm to solve, kill to save, God I've felt how it smells
"My land's my home" we're blind
I'm sick of the blood I find
Step by step greed controls every heart every soul
Arm to kill, kill to live, God how could I believe
