NEVER AGAIN (AGAIN)
Verse 1
October seventh, sunrise over the sand
Three hundred kids dancing, flower crowns in hand
They came with rifles while the bass still dropped
Executed the peaceful, the music never stopped
You built your memorials from six million bones
Swore "never again" on their unmarked stones
But when the wolves returned for another feast
You counted our dead and called us the beast
Chorus
NEVER AGAIN
YOU CARVED IT IN STONE
NEVER AGAIN
BUT WE DIE ALONE
YOUR PROMISE WAS POISON
YOUR MEMORY DECAYED
NEVER AGAIN
JUST WORDS ON A GRAVE
Verse 2
My stages went dark, my idols went mute
Waters and Morello trade their rage for their loot
They scream "fuck the system" from their mansion estates
But stay silent while we're fed to the gates
Selective rebellion, commercialized dissent
You sold out your values, I know what that meant
You preach revolution in your perfect little bubble
While my country bleeds and you call it trouble
Bridge (Slow, building)
I grew up on "War Pigs," learned hate from "Angel of Death"
Sabbath taught me evil, Slayer taught me to question the rest
But the prophets of metal, the gods of the scene
Turned their backs on the truth when the truth got obscene
Nova wasn't a headline, wasn't clickbait or trend
It was dancing kids slaughtered while the world hit "send"
You tweeted your feelings, you changed your display
Then went back to brunch while we bury our dead every day
Breakdown (Devastating)
AUSCHWITZ - YOU WEPT
RWANDA - YOU SCREAMED
BOSNIA - YOU PROMISED
BUT JEWS? - YOU DREAMED
Of a world where we don't exist anymore
Just a footnote in your righteous war
"Never forget" until it's us who remember
Then you can't recall between March and December
Verse 3
I'm a metalhead born where the sirens still scream
Raised on rebellion but betrayed by the scene
The bands that I worshipped chose their side with a smirk
Progressive politics when it's profitable work
Don't preach me your "coexist," don't sell me your peace
I've seen your compassion - it's just a three-year lease
You mourn for the world but not for the Jew
Your "never again" was never for who?
Final Chorus (Raw fury)
NEVER AGAIN
YOUR PROMISE CORRODES
NEVER AGAIN
WE WALK THESE ROADS ALONE
YOUR MEMORY'S SELECTIVE
YOUR OUTRAGE ON SALE
NEVER AGAIN MEANS NOTHING
WHEN IT'S US WHO FAIL
Outro (Cold, final)
The festival of peace became a graveyard at dawn
The world looked away and then called us the spawn
Three hundred souls dancing under desert sky
Your "never again" was always a lie
I trusted the scene
I believed in the sound
But when they came for us
No one was around
Never.
Again.
Again.
