|
A nation of cowards |
|
Our ideals betrayed |
|
Tides of injustice |
|
Traitors to ourselves |
|
Offer my entrails |
|
As sacrifice to your God, |
|
And then imagine |
|
What we could have had. |
|
A call for justice, |
|
Or a call for treason? |
|
The universal problem-solver. |
|
Please don't shoot |
|
Until you see |
|
The whites of their eyes, |
|
A recurring cry. |
|
Strap him down and his evils will be reconciled. |
|
Flip the switch and everything will be alright. |
|
A nation of cowards |
|
Our ideals betrayed |
|
Tides of injustice |
|
Traitors to ourselves |
|
Inject the poison to make us feel safe. |
|
Inject the poison to make us feel safe. |
|
Inject |
|
The poison |
|
To make us |
|
Feel safe. |
|
It will crush you, |
|
Shattered teeth and broken bones |
|
All in spite of your best intentions. |
|
It will consume you, |
|
Ruined lives and tortured souls all |
|
Because of your need for a scapegoat. |
|
I have ignored this carnage for far too long, |
|
But now my conscience has caught up with my heart. |
|
Has caught up with my heart. |
|
Carry me away, on wings that cannot fly |
|
To the land of second chances where hope conquers fear. |
|
Carry me away, on wings that cannot fly |

To the land of second chances where hope conquers fear. |
