It never had to be this way
The blood of the sleeping sun has fallen upon our heads
Siphoning the crumbs of stability that remained beneath our feet
We roam the earth as witnesses
To a breathing cesspool of violence
We have built empires of dust and leaf on borrowed time
You have elected immobility
And your children are listening
And covering their young eyes
Shielding from the flames
A prophecy foretold upon the altar of prejudice
Never meant to take shape
Never meant to emerge from the abyss
It lives
Walking upon the broken backs of silenced warriors
Listen to the screams that echo from within
You have elected immobility
And your children are listening
And covering their young eyes
Listen to the screams that echo from within the walls that you’ve built
What is the price of your heads now should we be so fortunate
We must accept ourselves for the truths
That lie behind societal mist and fallacious morality
The human animal was not birthed to be altered
