Lessons Of The Past

I can’t believe its reality
To turn a blind eye and not try to seek
Justice and consequence
For pulling the trigger before they’ve even seen the evidence
I feel the shame
Lessons of the past, gone to waste
How many lives is it going to take?
To realize we all bleed the same

The silence is deafening
The struggle is never ending
The echoing silence is deafening
The struggle is never ending

Don’t push me 'cause I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head, a-ha, a-ha

I'm sick to my stomach and I can’t cope
It’s a sign of the times when chaos is the antidote
Powerless, kept under wraps
Struck down by a system I can’t hit back

I don’t see change, all I see is hate
Can’t you embrace
Open your eyes, and you’ll see the same hate filled faces
No open minds, in a time of crisis, got to face the facts
And expose the lies

Protect and serve, you swear to preach
Murder and hurt, the reality you teach
Protect and serve, you swear to preach
Hurting and murdering the reality you teach
