Severance promised never came to fruition Severed the populace, victims of blind ambition Freedom we thought we attained For which we fought, we bled, we blamed On the pious, sanctimonious few Who tried to push their virtues All throughout history Man creates his own misery Following recklessly The bloody hands of royalty Count the days until our path is swallowed by These thorns of nevermore That cease the vision in our eyes Escape our fate Our plight Reclaim our peace Our lives We'll breach the silence that you've created To keep our voices down Expose the violence that's perpetrated By descendants of the crown The minds they've harnessed End up bending to their will Count the years And watch our time get swallowed by The cold indifference That trickles down from those on high We need to speak our minds We must take back our time We'll breach the silence that you've created To keep our voices down Expose the violence that's perpetrated By descendants of the crown The minds they've harnessed Are defending terror still No matter how we pray Rains that come will wash us all away And now they'll try to deny As they beg to the sky Using only their faith They cannot stop the wave And the wave is crashing down They cannot stop the wave And the wave is crashing down The wave is crashing down
