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.(3x)

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.
