Divide

(album: RWBY, Vol. 3 - 2016)

Does it feel good, knowing you tried
Knowing that all that remains
Is the slow, cold, brutal death
Of the fools that will all die in vain?

How does it feel
Knowing your efforts will fail?
All that you've built will be torn down
The hope of your people assailed

Send your guardians, they will fail
Legends and heroes will crumble and fall
You will not prevail

When allied together, a threat men display
Divide them with doubt, it will all wash away

One spark can incite their hope
And ignite the hearts of their weary souls
I will extinguish their flame

Form your armies, dream your dreams
Make your plans and plot your schemes
Send your fighters one and all
Then in battle watch them fall

It was you who ended their lives
Made them to dig their own graves
With your dark, sick, cruel design
Convinced them their world could be saved

Have you no shame
Signing them up for your war?
Train them to fight what they can't beat
Your sins are what they'll pay for

Sacrifice them for your needs
Slaughter is coming, the end drawing near
You'll regret your deeds

Legends and fairy tales scattered in time
Maidens and kingdoms wrapped up in a lie

These children you mislead
You'll watch them all bleed
Strength will not bring victory

Divide them, tear them apart
Sever their trust, it will strangle their heart
Inside them, plant seeds of doubt
Hope will be smothered, they'll turn on each other

Hatred will sprout suspicion and doubt
Friendships deny while allegiances die
The taste will be sweet when you get what you've earned
And I'll watch you burn
