Lesser Known Saint - Arc of Descent lyrics

Rules to define — how two plus two can equal five through your divine eyes Ma**ing, carelessly appeased to fall in line And ignore the injustice being generated by an imperfect state Criticizing those who would extend condolence beyond their own race It's not faulted to want revenge for this Just maintain the importance of an objective view I won't let my frustration coerce my compa**ion How can you sit there smug and believe the actions being taken In our name are morally pure without question? What then makes us anything more than terrorists ourselves? My sedition is in defense of those now dead — sinless life taken My heart is not restricted to bleeding only for those who share my descent Open your eyes and see this "our cause is better than their cause" mentality will fail Violence sires violence — peace sires peace — bias fuels hate Resentment bred by loss — causing mercy to be crossed A lapse in achieving union Freedom is claimed as reason for the machine of waging war And all who oppose take exile [Name] Your name is slandered by engagements your country makes in haste If we are not just then we have no right to exist at all — Fall I will not sit by pretending your "protection of my freedoms" Is an attempt to rid the world of terror – We are not above the policies we so willingly enforce on other nations No one has the right to taking another's life away My life, and claim to protect I'll pledge to all: This is my good fortune, this is my good name
