Roof Of The World Lyrics
As I look back my anger turns to rage
These eyes become the windows to a cage
Peace? When has peace had its page?
Nothing but the same old story
As I look back, it looks me in the face
One small step means McDonald's in space
To sleep soundly is to know your place
Nothing but the same old story
Sometimes I feel like the roof of the world
Crashed down on my head and crumbled
Sometimes I feel like the roof of the world
Crashed down on my head and crumbled
Sometimes I feel like the roof of the world
Crashed down on my head and crumbled
Sometimes I feel like the roof of the world
Crashed down on my head and crumbled!
As I look back every killer has his day
Little Boy, Fat Man and Enola Gay
In God we trust and bombs away
Nothing but the same old story
As I look back my anger turns to hate
Six million Jews just to test my faith
The voice of reason is a limited trait
Nothing but the same old story
Sometimes I feel like the roof of the world
Crashed down on my head and crumbled
Sometimes I feel like the roof of the world
Crashed down on my head and crumbled
Sometimes I feel like the roof of the world
Crashed down on my head and crumbled
Sometimes I feel like the roof of the world
Crashed down on my head and crumbled!
(I know where you go)
(I see what you don't want to see)
(I go where you go)
(I know where you go, where've you've been)*
Your silence, My silence
Your silence, My silence
Your silence, My silence
Your silence, My silence
Your silence! My silence!
Your silence! My silence!
Your silence! My silence!
Your silence! My silence!
Your silence!
Your silence!
As I look back I'm last, but not too late
Our legacy is a lesson in waste
Of things to come maybe just a taste
And all for the greater glory
And all for the greater glory
And all for the greater glory
And all for the greater glory
And all for the greater glory
These eyes become the windows to a cage
Peace? When has peace had its page?
Nothing but the same old story
As I look back, it looks me in the face
One small step means McDonald's in space
To sleep soundly is to know your place
Nothing but the same old story
Crashed down on my head and crumbled
Sometimes I feel like the roof of the world
Crashed down on my head and crumbled
Sometimes I feel like the roof of the world
Crashed down on my head and crumbled
Sometimes I feel like the roof of the world
Crashed down on my head and crumbled!
Little Boy, Fat Man and Enola Gay
In God we trust and bombs away
Nothing but the same old story
Six million Jews just to test my faith
The voice of reason is a limited trait
Nothing but the same old story
Crashed down on my head and crumbled
Sometimes I feel like the roof of the world
Crashed down on my head and crumbled
Sometimes I feel like the roof of the world
Crashed down on my head and crumbled
Sometimes I feel like the roof of the world
Crashed down on my head and crumbled!
(I see what you don't want to see)
(I go where you go)
(I know where you go, where've you've been)*
Your silence, My silence
Your silence, My silence
Your silence, My silence
Your silence! My silence!
Your silence! My silence!
Your silence! My silence!
Your silence!
Our legacy is a lesson in waste
Of things to come maybe just a taste
And all for the greater glory
And all for the greater glory
And all for the greater glory
And all for the greater glory
And all for the greater glory

Such a powerful song. A lot of people dont like the repetition but I think it adds more impact to the already powerful lyrics.
Yap's screaming out to us to stand up and protest/fight/whatever against all the killing happening in the world, mainly the conflicts between militaries or governments. We're making the same mistakes, 'Same old story', we learnt nothing from our 'legacy'. He's also questioning God's existence, if he were to exist why would he let this happen. Extremely powerful lyrics, I agree with Lensflare also.
