Fault lies down
At your feet right now
Stand up
And account for yourself
Forked tongues fraught with impurity
Your words are rigid and frail
Dance to the tone of entitlement
The cycle exists to devour its tail
We can no longer stand
The weight of the gun being held to our heads
The heavy handed place their bets
Yeah you'll get your chance
We can no longer stand
The poisonous lies that make up our beds
The heavy handed place their bets
Yeah you'll get your chance
Forced hands and misdirection
Piercing through these hallowed courts
Songs once worth singing
Fall victim to polluted words
I'll stand, I'll rise
As if we'll ever learn
Some pen the ink that sparks the flame
While others watch it burn
Truth stands clear
From masks and poison tears
Realign
Our sights on modern times
Forked tongues fraught with impurity
Your words are rigid and frail
Dance to the tone of entitlement
The cycle exists to devour its tail
We can no longer stand
The weight of the gun being held to our heads
The heavy handed place their bets
Yeah you'll get your chance
We can no longer stand
The poisonous lies that make up our beds
The heavy handed place their bets
Yeah you'll get your chance
Forced hands and misdirection
Piercing through these hallowed courts
Songs once worth singing
Fall victim to polluted words
I'll stand, I'll rise
As if we'll ever learn
Some pen the ink that sparks the flame
While others watch it burn
The winds of change will mend our sails
Yeah we were wrong
Green hands won't turn to claws
Yeah we were wrong
We hold our lights to pierce the dark
And find each other in the sound
Broken tongues thick with tar
Pave the surface of hollow ground
Moments ripped from fingertips
Burn holes in our self-worth
Songs once worth singing
Fall silent waiting for their turn
Some pen the ink that sparks the flame
While others watch it burn
