lyrics

I know that each day you tell yourself
"This is how it's supposed to be"
And each day you wonder how much longer you can believe
You feel the wrong
You lie to carry on
I lost my faith staring into the eyes of one condemned to die.
(A promise made to those we've betrayed)
Lose your faith
In this grand illusion of entitlement to life
Our "need" is a mask for our greed and it's not right
We are executioners who parade ourselves as kings
As selifsh and deluded as the blood-bathed Bathory
In a moment I was forever changed
When I made an oath that no life would be taken in my name
Our claims of natural reveal themselves as criminal
So I commit to compassion
Will you answer to this call for action?
Lose your faith
You feel the wrong
Lose your faith
You lie to carry on
Lose your faith
You feel the wrong
Lose your faith
How can you carry on?
