lyrics
So many rights I did not earn, so many lies I overheard.
Like we've atoned for all our sins, and everyone gets what they give.
This machine was built to fail the minute we saw past the veil.
So save the system's eulogy for the last of it's inhuman breed.
It's not hard to comprehend, if you're not hurt you work for them.
If you don't find yourself upset, your knee is on somebody's neck.
The great unknown will save your soul so don't be threatened by it's scope.
And if you still desire to harm apply your fear to the pyre in your heart.
Profit masquerades as peace, shadows bleed the truth off-screen.
Light this fire from within, consume this willfull ignorance.
Then maybe what the ash becomes won't punish blackness just because
You're so wired to find the fault in everything that you are not.
