1.
Born again With the strength of perseverance A grasp of humanity And its clearest appearance The will to live my life Free from transformation Ability to be content Without temptation Guided by choices Shielded by commitment Fighting to demonstrate a clearer vision They say The only hope is numbing To clear the perils of an anxious mind Remove your inhibition And be dependent ‘till the end of time The onslaught of purity Embracing the moral eternity Turn the tide, reverse the pace And shove their poison in their fucking face Within the X exists the truth Rejecting the tradition of modern youth And as long as substance continues to kill my peers, I will not sit still Belligerence
2.
Let me adorn myself with mind over matter fostering a foundation of strength within I’m sick of being told to climb the ladder So others can guide me to who I’ll become according to them The power of choice The strength of a voice (I won’t be chained) An undying belief Of staying true to me (I won’t be chained) Harness a burning spirit Light a path to serenity Embrace the dark around you It is the contrast to what you see The power of choice The strength of a voice (I won’t be chained) An undying belief Of staying true to me (I won’t be chained) Poisoned by fate And conditioned hate I’ll make do with the space I can’t escape
3.
Divided Ignited A dual allegiance of violence Of violence Two sided Both sharing the same face Governance rooted in bloodshed All for imperial aim Change is veiled in color While documents stay the same Manifesting the destiny Of what’s not theirs to claim Divided Ignited A dual allegiance of violence Find your content in the grind Limit while you can stay alive Keep working yourself to the bone Just to watch them sit on their throne You can exonerate your weakness But we will still see whats behind A puppeteer of a system Driven by property divide While you expect me to stay silent Watch me scream ‘till my lungs are raw It’s time for people to have their power Seize their own control
