The Fires Of Division

(album: Persona Non Grata - 2021)

Divided what was once united
By ideology of hate
Incited till the two collided
Eagerly we take the bait
Drowning in a sea of lies
I feign no surprise at our fate
Consume all the shit they feed
Excrete it back on the plate

Stoking the fires of division
Burning our world away
Building the ire and derision
Freedom's just another word
For nothing left to lose
The lines are drawn between right and wrong
You only have to choose
This is our time
Our moment for mutiny
Give me death or liberty

Do you believe in everything you hear?
Believe everything you see?
Afraid of what you're told to fear
Cower from what is to be
Embers of society
Ashes of the nation
Will rain upon us all
And our crumbling foundation

Burning, no hope returning
Democracy set aflame
Churning, all peace adjourning
Willingly we play the game
Wallowing in a field of shit
From where I sit it's all the same
No strength until united
Proudly we hail our name

Stoking the fires of division
Burning our world away
Building the ire and derision
Freedom's just another word
For nothing left to lose
The lines are drawn between right and wrong
You only have to choose
This is our time
Our moment for mutiny
Give me death or liberty
