Hammer Down
Awakening America: Unveiling the Truth Behind the Veil
Lyrics
I don't want the world you bled for me
I reject the world that you sacrificed for me
Standing at the edge of reality
Contemplating the edge of what is real
I can see beyond these eyes
I perceive beyond the limitations of my eyes
That something here just isn't right
Sensing that something is amiss in this reality
Support a war and the walls that keep you in
Endorsing a war and the barriers that confine
Take a side and don't let your brother in
Choosing sides and excluding one's own brother
Intimidate the threat you can't deny is something in your heart
Instilling fear in the acknowledged threat, unwilling to admit it resides within
We are not invisible to the suffering we know
We are not oblivious to the pain we understand
They lied
Deception has occurred
About the sky and moon
Falsehoods about the sky and moon
They ride together to our doom
They unite in our downfall
When we get it right
Success is fleeting
For one moment then it's gone
A moment of triumph, then it fades away
Might be enough to carry us and together we'll drag on and on
Possibly enough to sustain us, and we persist together
Medicate then slowly subjugate
Using medication to control and dominate
Arm the hate and film it for the race
Weaponizing hatred and capturing it on film for public consumption
Marching out to be the face
Mobilizing to become the representation
Of a nation lost in its disgrace
Of a nation lost in its shame
I don't want the world you bled for me standing at the edge of reality
Reiterating the rejection of the world stained with sacrifice
I can see beyond these eyes
Continuing the contemplation beyond visual limitations
If you cross me twice there's gunna be a fight
A warning that crossing twice will lead to conflict
I sleep with one eye open as America she sings to me
Vigilant, with one eye open, as America's song echoes
We dream like desperados
We dream with the spirit of outlaws
Sleeping on our empty graves
Resting on empty graves in our slumber
Only to find we lost ourselves
Discovering that we have lost ourselves
In the memory of better days
In the recollection of better days
One would never take us
One force wouldn't conquer us
One would put us underground
Another would bury us
The other wept like flowers
Yet another wept like flowers on a grave
Blooming on your grave
Blossoming in memory on the burial ground
