Holy Ground (The Ascended)

(album: Dystopian Fiction - 2017)

Sickened by their equals
And disgusted by the signs
Burning down the records
Now they're taking back our minds
So untouchable
They rose above it all
Ascended
Livid in the moment
That division wasn't law
Tracing in the footsteps
Of what twisted leaders saw
Our true superiors
We are inferior
Surrendered

Surrendered

Here we stand on holy ground
I have heard the thunderous sound
Of millions saying wake up, set us free
I am not the enemy
They have found the worst in me
Bleed it out and drown them in the sea

Sickened by departure
From their wicked way of life
Gods among us fight
To keep their thrones out of the strife
So they threw us out
Sowed the seeds of doubt
Ascended
Made the noose the artist's savior
And the thinker's cold demise
Restless into cults
To tell the people pleasant lies
Our dystopian
Home we're rotting in
Offended

Offended

Here we stand on holy ground
I have heard the thunderous sound
Of millions saying wake up, set us free
I am not the enemy
They have found the worst in me
Bleed it out and drown them in the sea

We are building better worlds
For the future to endure
Kill their misdirection
So we keep our minds pure
Fight for all the dreamers' love
Stargazers looking above
Fighting grave injustice
Knowing what we're made of

Here we stand
Here we stand
On holy ground
Holy ground

Here we stand on holy ground
Joining in the thunderous sound
Of new resistance in this bleeding city

Here we stand on holy ground
I have heard the thunderous sound
Of millions saying wake up, set us free
I am not the enemy
They have found the worst in me
Bleed it out and drown them in the sea
