Bottomless is the pit that swallows the light of truth
so to hold us in the darkness of ignorance
and leave us lie upon the stony ground of stupidity
to repeat yet once again the lessons unlearned in days now past.
And we, being blindly lead by the beliefs of our fathers
follow the path of lies that has brought us here today.
We who have been lead astray by the promise of peace
only to find that the dogs of war rage endlessly on.
And here we stand before a world that stands against us
thinking thoughts of the just as we leave a bloody trail in our wake.
Deaf to the cries unheard beneath the heels of oppression
while we march forever on to heed the call that commands these fools of freedom.
And as we are yet again left to wonder at the cost of liberty
whose debt is paid in full by the blood of our sons and daughters.
We search our souls for a faith forgotten in times gone by
as we tread the trail of tears that lies before us.
