Dissect the Dissent

We've reached the breaking point
Tensions as high as they've ever been
Ruse masterminded
By hands unseen
Invisible enemies all around
Thinking we're better than them
Turned against ourselves
A hill to die on

I still believe, we are better than this
I still believe, we can do better than this
Still just a puppet, of the powers that be
From American dream, wake up to see

Darkest ploy
Planned through the ages
Sow seeds of severance
And reap conquest
Build us bigger walls
Grant us colors that divide us
Separate the races so we each
Face our own demise

They want us divided
So we can't fight back
As they plunder
All we can never take back
See the real apartheid
For what it truly is
Without subjugation
We find no peace

Make me believe, we are better than this
Make me believe, we can do better than this
Just like a puppet, of the powers that be
From American dream, wake up to see
The nightmare

Darkest ploy
Planned through the ages
Sow seeds of severance
And reap conquest
Build us bigger walls
Grant us colors that divide us
Separate the races so we each
Face our own demise
