lyrics

In the name of fear, let's wage war upon ourselves.
Schizophrenic, we see ourselves as separate.
In the name of fear, let's wage war upon ourselves.
Xenophobic, a rainbow family under a banner of hate.

Severed from spirit by the capitalist beast.
Psychotic primates disfigured by greed.
Yet hope lays inside, but are you willing to see?

I see the light of a new day falling on the horizon,
Yet if we don't open our eyes,
The morning rays will illuminate,
Nothing but a corpse of this forgotten world.

So wake up!
Children of Earth, we are one and the same.
So wake up!
Separate droplets in a boundless ocean.
Two sides of the same coin.

Proclamations of veracity from either side,
Fear tactics & blatant lies.
A world gone mad,
Humanity traded for a label.
Diversity reduced to ticked boxes.

I see the light of a new day falling on the horizon,
Yet if we don't open our eyes,
The morning rays will illuminate,
Nothing but a corpse of this forgotten world.

These currents threaten to drown us in ash.
Is this a story of hope or the chronicles of our descent?

I will no longer be a slave to this machine.
I’m trading past for pathways.
