fear is your god now

i will bow to no one
no gods, no masters to show us mercy in the face of defeat
this endless suffering in the kingdom we've created
at the cost of the weak
and i know that there is no other way
but i can never be your savior, your one to blame
fear is your god now
and i know if can fight this
i'll have learned from my mistakes
i've lived so blind and careless
but now i know the path it takes
condemned to hang your head
we bleed the same blood, red, red
i'm hopeless
i will bow to no one
fear is your god now
goddamn the consequences
the empty beds and restless heads
reject their great american myth
of persevere and overcome
i will bow to no one

outcast

Sick and tired, I'm at the end of my rope. Every word we say is held under a microscope.
If freedom and equality is what you believe, practice what you preach.

Why are we the outcast?

Pick apart our lives and what we believe, I guess I'm just "bigot" with my heart on my sleeve.
I’m expected to accept your american dream.

Perpetuate all this hate, you say that I'm wrong and I don't belong, made an outcast because of my faith.
You expect respect with your hands around my neck. Everyday this noose gets tighter and tighter.

Dragging these chains until they break, no one's free unless we change.
We drag the same chains we feel the same pain.
Made an outcast because of my faith, I'm sick of living in a world of hate.
We drag the same chains we feel the same pain.

If were all equal why is God the problem, not the people?
Maybe we’re both to blame, we all suffer the same.

And we're sinking deeper and deeper.

Dragging these chains until they break, no one's free unless we change.
We drag the same chains we feel the same pain.
Made an outcast because of my faith, I'm sick of living in a world of hate.
We drag the same chains we feel the same pain.

Just grow up, we don't share the same beliefs but we deserve the same love.
I'm sick and tired of all this pain we drag these chains until they break.
So let's dig a grave and put hate back into its place.
Dragging these chains until they break, I'm sick and tired of all this hate.

If freedom and equality is what you believe practice what you preach.

Why are we the outcast?

I won't be an outcast.
