Is this the world I live in
where everyone lives a life
built on an edifice of lies

Is this the world I live in
where everyone can see only hatred
in each others eyes

Is this the world I live in
where everyone wears a mask
A mask of pretense

Is this the world I live in
where everyone's deeds
are a punishable offense

Is this really the world I live in
where the innocent is crushed
till it can no longer stand
where the right and the truthful
have no power in their hand
where the weak is tortured
till he dies
where justice to everyone
is denied

What kind of a world is this
in which I live
where all I can hear are fatal cries

Hell does exist
cant you see
Beneath these boundless skies it lies
Beneath these boundless skies
it lies . . .
