The tide will rise And wash us all away from here Erasing us like the disease we are Right now the sounds have grown too loud To comprehend and take home something from this So far away, to this place I feel at home, Though I recall this perspective What do we ask for, A perceptions change And why would I relieve you of your innocence We're going down, We're going down. And who'd have known. The punishment would outweigh our crimes. Where has your pride finally led you Ego's growing To seize you into the throne, To cast you out, out of stone. As you climb your tower that only blood could bestow upon you But lo and behold your alibis, you made Have only disappointed us And its become a classic case of the blind leading the blind, Leading all of us. We are worth more than the burdens we've carried for so long On the heels of our callused feet, and we can over come if we All stand up. We can only speak for our selves when we say That were ashamed of the low we're sinking to When the past is all we can draw influence from.
