about

This track is about something that is still taking place in this country. We are completely polarized and divided to the point of a civil war, God forbid someone fire the first shot. This is a call to wake up and rise above what you have been programmed to know. See past the veil, find peace and realize that we are all in this together for the same goal.

lyrics

Activist judges
Forcing their case
Pushover politicians
Are saving face, as the
Soldiers die and the
Martyr bleed and the
Christian man falls down
To his knees
Cause all his freedoms are gone
And the church doesn't see a need
Cause'

The ones that we trust are
Disobeying our laws as the
Democracy dies with
Thunderous applause
Those who oppose are just
Delaying the cause as
Democracy dies with
Thunderous applause

Paid off lawyers
Raising their rates
People are waging their fortunes
Against our fates as the
Prices rise and the
Wages fall and
Nobody wants to make sense of it all
And everbody's watching CNN
To see the writing, on the crawl
Cause'

The ones that we trust are
Disobeying our laws as the
Democracy dies with
Thunderous applause
Those who oppose are just
Delaying the cause as
Democracy dies with
Thunderous applause

When we gonna stop and figure it out
The powers that be, wanna see you and me
Drop our love for each other and fight it out
Cause a nation divided is a nation that will fall
And the powers that be stand back and laugh
As we're all slowly backed up against a wall
And a hard place
