Where are the fires in our streets? Are there no fires in our hearts? Around us the tinders lay scattered, but where is the spark? You put the pen to the paper Heard it was stronger than the blade. You brought the power to the people, The people they tired and walked away. Results never came. You turned their bones & bricks to dust The atmosphere concussed You lost your mind You lost their trust And all you made was dust Results never came. Still what's to be done when powers that be must be brought to their knees? Can warrants be found to justify means such as these? Burn it all away Or turn and walk away Results stay the same Don't turn their bones or bricks to dust Remain contemptuous We want your mind We need your trust With the sum of us The tide can be changed

No man's an island Nothing is free That face in the mirror It's not really me These idle words scrawled on the paper Bare little meaning without a cipher As Dead Hands try to reach out, take mine and make my next move for me I can't cave to them though I want to just a little when I'm weak as they pull against My living will Phased like the moon High in the branches when I come home Key turns the lock Pale world explodes Enter the realest world I've ever known I am home

Where'd you get that line? The one disguised as age old wisdom It certainly has guile Recited with a smile But just beyond that sardonic veneer, Set by fear, Lies a mind so overcome, A heart devoid of love. You know what you meant. Don't mince your words. So callous and so cold Don't act so innocent. May every weapon you forge with your tonge Bite you when the tables turn. It sounds so cliche, what I'm about to say But it bears repeating anyway Your fear is just self loathing you're unwilling to face. It's not because you're weak. You could see the truth if you really wanted to. Don't shed crocodile tears while preying on people's fears Just because you're afraid to hear That the world's not like it one was A simpler time when you and yours Had it good while others suffered Now you're scared they'll pull you under. You've got nerve, nay gall, saying shit like that From the comfort of your home Don't act like you didn't Others rail, they rave, they piss, they rant For better lives for all You're just a fucking bigot.
