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
