Peace is an illusion
And no matter how tranquil the world seems
Peace doesn't last long [9x]
Peace is a struggle against our very nature
A skin we stretch over the bone, muscle
And sinew of our own innate savagery
The instinct of violence curls inside us like a parasite
Waiting for a chance to feed on our rage
And multiply until it bursts out of us (bursts out of us [?x])
[2x]
The instinct of violence
Peace is an illusion
And no matter how tranquil the world seems
Peace doesn't last long
Peace is a struggle against our very nature
A skin we stretch over the bone, muscle
And sinew of our own innate savagery
The instinct of violence curls inside us like a parasite
Waiting for a chance to feed on our rage
And multiply until it bursts out of us (bursts out of us [?x])
The instinct of violence [2x]
War is the only thing we really understand
