    Every single mind is a mirror of convention,

    And every word thats spoken is just another
    promise that shall be broken.
    Every single thought that passes through their
    minds, is a judgement on our customs,
    and the speech that they convey, the laws
    that they enforce, a circus of decay.

    You have crushed every dream and shadow
    we posess, throwing away our religion
    and taking everything we have.
    I can hardly breath the air, you
    have poisoned all I am, and taken any
    chance I have of survival in this river.

    Every single person in this wasteland,
    they just cant understand, all we are,
    all that i am. They murder every idea,
    and stiffle education. They knock us to the floor
    and take us as their prisoners in their wars.
    In their land, they call us by our names,
    but not by our refrains.

    You have taken all i am, everything
    i hold so close. Heres to the blood
    theyve spilled on our behalf, the
    life they have squandered on pety
    wars of money and love. Love is not
    a weapon but a heart naked and raw.
