lyrics

(Cris)

Descend to the world we know

Descend to the world we feel we both share

Cause I wanna make you see

The truth is still there


(Aaron)

Upon our descent

Untimely approach to the end

The clock is ticking

Expanding contagions

Pledge allegiance to this state of unrest


(Cris)

(Once) Sworn to defend

No longer we pretend

Once mistaken for a world that’s ours


(Aaron)

Now we can follow

We can bow our heads


(Both)

Or arise to face the life we’re served


(Aaron)

Watch as the balance degrades

Annihilation at the hands of my brothers

Violence unbounded as dissension begins


(Cris)

A human need

For certainty

At the cost of

Security is lost and now

(We’re) too blind to see

The outcome we can’t begin to perceive


(Aaron)

I can feel their eyes surrounding me


(Cris)

At the cost of my insanity


(Aaron)

They’re taking everything for all it’s worth

Kneeling down I submit unto the world I know


(Cris)

Dead into the world, we feel we both share


(Aaron)

By your resistance defined


(Cris)

Cause I want to make you think

(Aaron)

Now bearing witness


(Cris)

The sign is soon there

(Aaron)

We all will join in the sun


(Aaron)

Divided we stand

With no one else left to call friend

Inoculation

A lust for control

A mass sedation bringing promises of


(Cris)

Fear

(Aaron)

Mass confusion spreads

Consumed by the misinformation

As they fabricate veracity

I look once more to the stars


(Cris)

I see right through your stare

You know that I foresee you

You think you’re shit’s unclean

But your filthy mind is dead


(Aaron)

A second coming of a righteous war

The scales imbalanced

I am the light ordained to bring disorder

Avenging angels fall


(Cris)

Follow


(Aaron)

Forward


(Cris)

Revolt


(Aaron)

Respond


(Cris)

Rise and plant your feet


(Cris)

Withdraw


(Aaron)


Pursue


(Cris)


Take cover


(Aaron)


You cowards



(Aaron and Cris)


Stand and be held accountable


(Aaron)


This confusion spreads

We’re lost in the grips of sedition

As the clamor breeds catastrophe

I’m looking once more to the stars


(Cris)

I’m looking once more to the stars



(Cris)

A human need

For certainty

At the cost of

Security



(Aaron)



March to the state of unrest

United States of unrest


(Cris)

Descend to the world we know

Descend to the world we feel we both share

(Aaron)

By your resistance defined

(Cris)

Cause I wanna make you think

(Aaron)


Now bearing witness

(Cris)

Your innocence

(Aaron)

We all will join in the sun



(Aaron)


With heads in hand

Our lines drawn deep in the sand

Glory be to the effigy

I alone in my world that is me


(Cris)

They brought up in your head

Hands placed into the sand

Glory to the effigy.


(Aaron)

Now we can follow

We can bow our heads

Or reverse the ignorance and make this world our own
