Is This Who We Are?

from And In Vengeance We Strike by Lead The Way

lyrics

Just one second of stand off - Hands up, on the floor
Poisoned minds and weary hearts are giving ground again
All these centuries down the line
The sword's still mightier than the pen
So he who wields the sword, thus controls the world
And puts the fear of God into our souls

Is this who we are?
Can we, will we amount to anything more than one echo,
Through the silence that penetrates our souls?

When will we reach that wall?
That point where we decide enough is enough
We won't take anymore
Breaches of trust - hope turned to dust
This state of perpetual angst and hate

It's time to open your eyes
Don't listen to their bullshit lies
You're not as free as they tell you
Be something more
Stand up and say no
