One day you'll see me stand tall,
Above the bodies and the broken bones.
It's hard to say why we all fight this war.
Is there any way to keep me safe?

Living in reflections of the past,
I can't take this anymore.
Consumed by fear and convulsions, i hope this age doesn't last.

Peering through these bars like the bird that has been caged.
I wish i could spread my wings and fly far far away.
I know my future's out there, freedom lies beyond its gates.
We lay siege to the control.
To the world that needs a change.

Light peers through the cracks in the rooftops, it's all coming down.
Fires burning bright, fuelled by the homes of greed.

Shut the system down.
Destroy the very thing that we have created.
How has humanity been left to survive with an imperfect sense of self perfection?
You know the fear that's feeding hate shall be cast out like a plague.
I've seen all those lies behind your eyes.
Burning desires, you're nothing more than nothing.
I've seen all those truths you need to sacrifice,
When you're on fire i guess you're bound to burn something.

One day you'll see me stand tall,
Above the bodies and the broken bones.
It's hard to say why we all fight this war.
Is there any way to keep me safe?

I'm so tired of living in a world that never sleeps.
And everyone disbelieving all the good in everything that we see.
When did we become okay with treating others how we please?
We're just a copy of a copy and in this pestilent world, we're replicating disease.

Oh it's just a state of mind.
Happiness is just a simple state of mind.

I fear the hopeless, i fear the godless.
When hope only ever appears to be skin deep remember:
Smiles are gone but not forgotten.

Beware the tyranny of the weak.
I said dark clouds loom, hanging over head.
