War in Slow Motion

They captured god and now he’s dead
Just pray enough to think you’re god instead
The sides you take are made to break
This grave injustice takes justice to the grave
Nothing has changed
Just sitting complaining
The monsters have awakened
This time no one’s faking
We are broken
We’re all too lost to notice
We are choking
And all our gods are hopeless
Break it open
Half the battle’s knowing
Th system that we’ve chosn
Feels like war in slow motion
Take this filthy flesh and make it clean
Let freedom ring as long as it’s skin deep
So throw these stones and pierce this skin
To get to heaven, the preacher has to sin
Drowning in violence
On fire with silence
The science of compliance
Won’t quiet down the sirens
Why do all the things that matter most
Move way too slow?
Why do we have to lose our hope
