Analysis of You Can't



There's no defense against an ignorance.
Supported followed.
There's no defense against ignorance.

You can't,
Renew what has been done.
You can't,
Shine brighter than the Sun.
The only thing a fool can prove,
Is stay to prove a fool to do.

You can't,
Rebuild humanity.
You can't,
Refresh the air to breathe.
You can't,
Have power more than God.
With the weapons you have got.

You can't,
Assume a victory.
Perceived to have before you see,
Everyone you still deceive...
Now regret you brought them only grief!

Deflating narcissism kept you keep!

Defeating lies you told to tell believed.
With sharing sorrows.
Now and tomorrow.
Defeating escalating your grief.
More!
Defeating escalating your grief.
Shared with them borrowed.
More!

And this you can't undo to bring peace.
Gone.
And this you can't undo to bring peace.
Lost.
By you.
And at a high cost too!

There's no defense against ignorance.
Sold.
There's no defense against ignorance.
Bought.
There's no defense against ignorance.
Supported and it followed.
There's no defense against ignorance.
Shared.
There's no defense against ignorance.
With grief to share and more to borrow...
Pain and sorrows kept to keep.
Now and tomorrow.
Pain and sorrows kept to keep.
Shared.
Pain and sorrows kept to keep!
Kept to keep.
With no relief.
To know it gone.
To know it gone!
From where it once belonged.

No one can undo what's gone,
Wrong!
No one can undo.
No one undo.
No one undo.
A sharing of pain,
To think it won't remain.
Sustained!
