Damaged by Design
Rising Against the Echoes: Unveiling the Consequences of Our Choices
Lyrics
We cannot be moved
We are resolute and unyielding.
We've stood by for too long
We've been passive observers for an extended period.
Watched as friends became enemies and tore us apart
Witnessed friends turning into enemies, causing division.
Complacently we watched our country dissolve
We complacently watched our nation deteriorate.
No longer one nation under God
No longer united under a common faith.
We took it in through a looking glass
We perceived the situation through a distorted lens.
But now we're taking it back
Now we are reclaiming control.
Step aside we've got nothing to lose
Stand aside, as we have nothing to lose.
But we've got everything to prove
We have everything to prove.
Wait for the love of God
Wait for divine love before making irreversible decisions.
Before we go and throw it all away
Caution against hasty actions that may ruin everything.
It won't fix itself in time
Issues won't resolve themselves over time.
It was damaged by design
Challenges were intentionally created and cannot be easily fixed.
This is what we've made
This is the result of our collective actions.
Smoke lines the horizon
Visible signs of our destructive actions fill the horizon.
Proof of what we have done
Evidence of the consequences of our deeds.
Enemies line our borders evidence of what's to come
Hostile forces surround us, indicating future challenges.
We have dug too deep, we can no longer see the sun
We have delved too deeply, losing sight of the positive.
The smoke from these fires is killing everyone
Smoke from our destructive acts is harming everyone.
The gravity of our mistakes brings us to our knees
The severity of our errors brings us to humility.
Praying for forgiveness from a god in which we don't believe
Seeking forgiveness from a deity in whom we've lost faith.
Together we can move mountains
Collectively, we can achieve great things, but we've misused our potential.
But we have squandered our strength
We are now weakened by the chains of corruption.
Overpowered by the bonds of corruption
Trapped by the consequences of our errors.
Prisoners of our mistakes
Prisoners of our own mistakes.
So now we fight the rising tide
Facing a formidable challenge, and the situation is worsening.
And the waters are getting deep
The difficulties are intensifying.
We've got numbers on our side
We have numerical strength on our side.
And we will not retreat
We will not back down.
Wait for the love of God
Wait for divine love before irreversible decisions.
Before we go and throw it all away
Caution against hasty actions that may ruin everything.
It won't fix itself in time
Issues won't resolve themselves over time.
It was damaged by design
Challenges were intentionally created and cannot be easily fixed.
This is what we've made
This is the result of our collective actions.
Rise
Emphasizing the need to rise above challenges.
Open up your eyes
Encouragement to see the harsh reality.
See what I see
Invite others to perceive the truth.
Put your fists up in the air and rise with me
Symbolic gesture of unity and resistance.
Wait for the love of God
Wait for divine love before irreversible decisions.
Before we go and throw it all away
Caution against hasty actions that may ruin everything.
It won't fix itself in time
Issues won't resolve themselves over time.
It was damaged by design
Challenges were intentionally created and cannot be easily fixed.
This is what we've made
This is the result of our collective actions.
