Shiloh Songtext

von Good Riddance

Can you feel it through the silence
A cry for prudence that will not be heard
Another call to raise a fire
A proposition that will not return

Just like in war where nothing changes
We're pacified
And before we burn our bridges
Still dead inside

An air of menace so familiar
Just a solution without a cause
It's jingoism without a vision
Abject denial of the prescient flaws

Moving out into the fire
Capitulating to the darkest will
No time to count a test of courage
An instrument in the final kill
Dying flame of the disenchanted
One by one we watch them fall
The bitterness of a generation
A declaration of dishonesty we fail
