Zahna - Divided Nation

Do I divide, or raise the banner high Of a dying nation (a flame that's failing?) (You said you want it, don't you want it, don't you throw it away) If you ask me what I'm feeling May not like what I say But if it's so called freedom-of-speech, well (You said you want it! Don't you want it! Don't you throw it away!) In the Land of the Free And the Home of the Brave We can't talk like we own ourselves (You said you want it, hope you know you'll never silence me!) If everything's an apology We're only lying to ourselves! Do I divide, or raise the banner high Of a dying nation, a flame that's failing Should I arise, with my arms lifted high And a heart unshaken (A blade unstained!) Everyone's up in arms, Dying to be the right ones As the grand stories of the media sell (You say and claim it, fabricate it, don't you lie to my face!) But let the conflict come So we can grow as one, Don't believe the spreading lies (You'll only conquer to divide but never fight to grow inside!) If we claim all words as hypocrisy, we only do this to ourselves! Do I divide, or raise the banner high Of a dying nation, a flame that's failing Should I arise, with my arms lifted high And a heart unshaken (A blade unstained!) This wasn't how it's supposed to be We're not the patriots we promised When you go to war for lost causes We're just soldiers with bloody badges Riots replace democracy But that's okay, it's the ‘Merican way Dissension is the virus (I pledge allegiance to the United States of this American crisis!) (You said you want it, I still want it, Don't you want it? Don't you need it? Don't you throw it away!)
