Raise the Banner Songtext

von Sea Of Treachery

I tried
So hard
To find solace.
Instead
I found
Discomfort.
I had... one... chance
To... learn... from... mistakes
That I...
Had once made.

One more decision
THAT WILL COME TO HAUNT ME.
Resort to violence
AND IT WILL GET HARD TO SEE
Through the eyes of
AN UNSUSPECTING VICTIM.
Blinded by fear
AND PREJUDICE,
I failed to see you bleeding
In my foolish state.

I failed to find a problem in my ignorant stage.

It was such a tragic tale
Of your aggression
That you entrenched yourself
With a gun.

I tried so hard
To blaze a path,
To make things right
And prosperous.

I'll raise the banner against intolerance.
I'll fight against those who preach ignorance.
A culture of horrors,
A nation led by fear.
It must cease to be,
Or we are DOOMED.

We must walk the
Path to enlightment,
But yet
You are
So unwilling.
If you
Don't give,
If you don't acquiesce;
WE ARE DESTINED,
DESTINED TO REPEAT OUR MISTAKES.
