Sovereign

(album: Shrine - 2022)

Sovereign
Yeah

Subject to denial of a life worth living
Stain the scope to blind our eyes
We wait with baited breath
Under the weight of societal fate
I seek to put an end to this structure

They said to bide my time so I fall in line
And turn a blind eye to the crimes of late
Then robbed of all that could separate me
From the world outside and the powers that be
Make no mistake
It's a sovereign state

Forced down, denied our severance
Dissipating vision
Aim the arrows at the gates in the face of hate
Holding the weight of our own defeat
We're pushed and pulled apart by this system

They said to bide my time so I fall in line
And turn a blind eye to the crimes of late
Then robbed of all that could separate me
From the world outside and the powers that be
Make no mistake
It's a sovereign state

Our minority
Held under lock and key
Forge your lies in ink
To take us all down when you sink

The worst is yet to come

The driving force is pushing down on us with all its might
But our unbending quest for truth will come to light
Has oppression got the best of us?
Primed for the glory of applause
