Lyrics
Are we owed

More than what we've bled for
Reflecting on whether the sacrifices made deserve more.
All that we've owned
Considering all possessions in relation to faith's distortions.
Are faith's aborations

I've found no home
Expressing a lack of belonging or a sense of homelessness.
Amongst this wasted generation
Feeling displaced in a generation perceived as wasted.
You're raising up these sheep

In wolves clothing and leading them to slaughter

Nothing is sacred

All effigies to burn

Your shallowness held in their highest regard

Your churches stand to perpetuate blindness
Accusing churches of sustaining ignorance.
While gathering an army of masochistic drones

-We are the flowers in the ash
