The System
We hold the slaves, beneath the truth
We hide the lives, suppressing the youth
Criminalize, securing the noose
Stone the witch, burning in flames
Puritans, they're all the same
Hysteria, it's the same old game
Catch the fire, that's burning within
Stand your ground and live to win
Bow your head pray away the sin
You hope to find, the beauty in life
Conflicting times and all the strife
Can you rise or be cut by the knife
The System hides, withholding the truth, the System hides
Finding your mind, source of your freedom, hold your sword to win
Closing your eyes, to the system, slashing demons of sin
Exploit the love sacrifice the lamb
Choose the dove feeding from your hand
Is God above, it's the bet of the land
We keep the faith, the turning will come
Destroy the race and look to the Son
Stare down those pointing the gun
The System hides, withholding the truth, the System hides
The sands of time, the scripts of fate, is your will to give
Shifting your thought, breaking the walls, bind your freedom to live
We make our stand, today is the day
We exercise, the demons away
Crystallize, what prophets say
Destroy the flag, the dividing wall
Break the ties, and stand up tall
Symbols hide we are one and all
The System hides, withholding the truth, the System hides
Finding your mind, source of your freedom, hold your sword to win
Closing your eyes, to the system, slashing demons of sin
Shifting your thoughts, breaking the walls, bind your freedom to liveto liveto live
