This Consequence

By my own volition, isolated and set free The symptom of your violence and the dissident in me Untrusting of the promise of a figurehead to lead When they've broken all their promises and left us here to bleed To bleed Abandon us You turned your backs on all of us Abandoned us All we had Reduced to dust Use your intuition Awaken from your sleep How many years controlled by fear? The fallacies run deep Contention, contention Diverted, diverted Democracy is deserted Abandon us You turned your backs on all of us Abandoned us All we had Reduced to dust Can't you see The urgency? Spiraling uncertainty There must be change So we can save Save ourselves from divergency Yet, here we are Left to bleed You abandoned us Abandon us You turned your backs on all of us Abandoned us All we had Reduced to dust

Living through discoordination in our society A boiling point of our frustration and mass anxiety Anyone can see undeniably diversion is the new disorder Forced complacency Assimilated to the syndicate Kill all your sympathy in this discordant nation Yield to and bend the knee to this discordant nation Creating a nation that's controlled by fear and alienation Kill all your sympathy in this discordant nation Yield to and bend the knee to this discordant nation It breaks us down Sterilizing the compassion in your heart Will you let it all? Will you let it all tear us apart? Kill all your sympathy in this discordant nation Yield to and bend the knee to this discordant nation

Will we die alone? Now we've been left for dead At the behest of the words unsaid The crux of survival from the heart to hands Eradication of our promised land We're reeling from the aftermath Still bleeding from the damage of the past We're reeling from the aftermath That feeling that it's just out of our grasp This is the consequence A people lost and dispossessed We were misled Left for dead But you can't give in to despair We're reeling from the aftermath Still bleeding from the damage of the past We're reeling from the aftermath That feeling that it's just out of our grasp I'd give my life I'd give my life to change this But you can't see through the lies I'd give my life I'd give my life to save you But I can't turn back the time Turn back the time We're reeling from the aftermath Still bleeding from the damage of the past We're reeling from the aftermath Aftermath That feeling that it's just out of our grasp I'd give my life to change this But you don't see through the lies I can't turn back the time But I still try

Wander through this desolation, the emptiness inside The venom of this isolation begins to claim its prize A part of me only you could see To save this wretched wounded man from all consuming grief Breathing a new vitality Give me a place to rest Connecting the deepest depths of me Now my tongue must confess It's you I find Forever in my mind We are aligned inside Forever in my mind We are aligned When my breath begins to tremble, swallowed by this dread I feed me to the wolves that linger in the shadows of my head Find a pain in me, it will bleed eventually Face to face with what must change Killing this deceit Pull me Pull me from the depths Save me Save me from defeat Deliver me a revelation to find a new A new belief It's you I find Forever in my mind We are aligned inside Forever in my mind All you can see eternally Connection of spirit and what's in between this life I find forever in my mind Calculating divinity to understand the spirit unseen Now we are aligned We are aligned And it's you I find forever in my mind We are aligned inside Forever We are aligned We are aligned We are aligned We are aligned

Covering the truth inside us Giving into spite Self inflicted paranoia hindering our sight Lose track of what used to drive you to make you feel alive That part of yourself that gave you the willingness to fight Some people will say it's part of life I chose to refuse to let it slide Finding faith in these dark times Keeping hope alive I believe there is hope for better days I believe we will conquer what we face Discovering the faith inside us, Save us from despair No matter what this world will tell you, Do not live in fear Learn to let the light guide you Let go of the pain You can't kill the passion in me My devotion remains I believe there is hope for better days I believe we will conquer what we face Come what may the light will guide my way Come what may I won't be led astray Do you believe that something can renew your strength When you find it you stop at nothing, It's in every word you say So keep the faith The light will guide my way I won't be led astray, And nothing will stand in my way I believe I believe that there is hope I believe there is hope for better days

This is where it dies Wasted too much time deciphering the lies Defending who I thought you were inside Vilified anyone who tried to expose the bitterness that you hide Now you're caught in your own stalemate No one left to manipulate It left me drained As I watched you change I see who you've become It's too late for your repentance Now our trust is undone So you will suffer Suffer my vengeance You, drown in your misery You, now you are dead to me I see who you've become (Who you've become) It's too late for your repentance Now our trust is undone So you will suffer Suffer my vengeance You, drown in your misery You, now you are dead to me This is where it dies Suffer my vengeance

Cauterizing the wounds you caused in vain I realize how much we've lost Your words forsake and betray you It's your facade that I see through You let the bitterness take you It's the death of our trust My tears, my heart and blood Are not enough In the fall of us Your fears at war with trust And the loss of love It's the fall of us The fall of us Recognizing the life you claim to live Normalizing your arrogance I've got no more to give No more to give My tears, my heart and blood Are not enough In the fall of us Your fears at war with trust And the loss of love It's the fall of us It's never enough, the fall of us Hate, fear Hate, fear Hate, hate, fear, fear Hate, fear Hate, fear I'm lost inside your vacant eyes A cold mirror of the darkness you hide I tried to save you from the pull of the tide The fear has changed you into what you despise Hatred is your weakness Hatred consumes you My tears, my heart and blood Are not enough In the fall of us Your fears at war with trust And the loss of love It's the fall of us Your fears at war with trust It's the fall of us

You speak in shards of broken glass You punish me to try to take away my dignity Strip away my confidence to prey upon the kindness that's in me So now I will withstand Drive a nail into my hand Crucified to ruthless circumstance Too blind to understand That you alone will suffer the consequence You speak in shards of broken glass My wounds may bleed, but the pain won't last Now I watch as you Collapse My suffering will mend Your bitterness won't end So now I withstand Drive a nail into my hand Bleeding out, but I still will not relent Too blind to understand In the end, you will repent You speak in shards of broken glass Broken glass My wounds may bleed, but the pain won't last The pain won't last Now I watch as you Collapse

Cauterizing wounds that won't mend Is this the beginning of the end? Can we be saved before it's too late? Our lives in declivity Watching our world fall apart Into dismay Emerge from the pain again I swear this is not the end This is not our requiem Avowed to avenge and repent Rain down, I brought punishment No more will you suffer discontent For you I will not relent Your sacred heart I will defend And we will see new life again This is not our requiem Emerge from the pain again I swear this is not the end This is not our requiem We emerge from the pain again This is not our requiem I swear this is not the end This is not our requiem
