Striking back for the last Heart attack First you tip the scale Then they tip it back This escalating trend Will never end If they take from you Then you take from them With less concern For what is fair To an unconsidered Blame you bear This escalating trend Will never end, If they take from you... You take from them again Waking up from a dream into another day Never taking to heart all of the words they say It so hard to believe if you never see That the truth is split on the in-between Waking up from your dream into another day Never taking to heart all of the words they say It so hard to believe because the truth is this: What hatred breeds you must resist Who was the first And who was the last Did you count yourself Or omit the past This basic concept Begins again When your actions flow From the hate within? Waking up from a dream into another day Never taking to heart all of the words they say It so hard to believe if you never see That the truth is split on the in-between Waking up from your dream into another day Never taking to heart all of the words they say It so hard to believe because the truth is this: What hatred breeds you must resist I don't understand Why do you try To make hatred and intolerance seem justified I don't understand your prejudice and lies Tear down your ignorance open your eyes If the heart is rich Then what you think you are In your core beliefs Should not become a sword This basic concept Is where it ends... If you close your heart Then you begin again I don't understand Why do you try To make hatred and intolerance seem justified I don't understand your prejudice and lies Tear down your ignorance open your eyes Waking up from a dream into another day Never taking to heart all of the words they say It so hard to believe if you never see That the truth is split on the in-between Waking up from your dream into another day Never taking to heart all of the words they say It so hard to believe because the truth is this: What hatred breeds you must resist Waking from your dream state Waking to the truth
