Album: Atrocities (2009)

What We Are Fighting For

Your story's been set
And I regret that I have been portrayed
As a villain in your God forsaking crimes
But if the fault is all mine
Then can someone tell me why
That there's no blood on my hands now
If that song is being sung
Why are we looked down upon
For not being another one
To fall in line
My convictions lead me
So this won't be a waste of time
For me this is exactly where I need to be
Right now
So why does a difference in opinion
Mean that I am wrong
Clear eyes clean heart and
A mind that wont forget where we came from
It's not that you were wrong
But your life's not for me
Your story's been set
And I regret that I have been portrayed
As a villain in your God forsaking crimes
But if the fault is all mine
Then can someone tell me why
I'm still breathing
And I'm sorry but I
Did not choose your life
There's nothing I can say
But I will show you
These words aren't in vain
My hearts still the same
And that's why I that's why I
I will love the unloved
I will cherish the hated ones
I will welcome the shunned
With my sweat and my blood
'Cause if we burn down the walls of this world
Then we will burn through the hearts of the still
And if I must stand alone
I will stand with my head held high
Cause it seems to me
Like we're two enemies fighting on the same side
Can't you see
This is all a means to an end
I hope that one day we will live in harmony
Unified in the same goal
'Cause now is not the time for us
To draw a line in the sand
To decide which side we're fighting for
