"Riot Of Words" lyrics

"Riot Of Words"

This is the moment when we choose to stand upright and direct
Set the course of our vision: new spirit in the flesh
We see the rich man's law dem break the poor man's back again
Dead eyed but unbroken

We see society's cruel mask upon the meaningless face
The arrogant false prophets of this human race
But rising to the surface hear the waters make the sound
Dead eyed but unbroken now

Are you dead eyed but unbroken
Are you feeling alive in the dead world they've made
Are you working for a promise
Are you working for a promise already betrayed
While the dreams of the nation
Are just a weapon in our hearts now

We can defy the curse of self righteousness
No more cultureless emptiness
Pull back to reach the moment where connection was lost
The greater the freedom the higher the cost

Drink in organic insurrection cleanse the mind mine the heart
Droplets falling faith and courage and fire in our hearts
Rising to the surface hear the waters make the sound
Dead eyed but unbroken

Minds once set to fight now rot bloodless upon they stem
To update the paranoia the media disguise the system
With designer clothes and violence regulate our birthright
Dead eyed but unbroken now

Are we dead eyed but unbroken
Yeah we're feeling alive in the dead world they've made
Are you working for a promise
Yeah working for a promise already betrayed
While the dreams of the nation
Are just a weapon in our hearts now

Colors on the tv they push the lie in all things
Some of us bleed against this deception stays entrenched
Did you start did you start to believe in it
Colors of the ruling class push the lie in all things
Some of us bleed against this deception stays entrenched
Did you start did you start to believe in it

Are you dead eyed from the sight of no future
And broken handed from working for a promise betrayed?

We can disarm
We can disarm

Whoa disarm
Whoa disarm
Whoa disarm
Whoa disarm disarm disarm now
