Dividing Lines

All the world in fear the danger's presence near the evil that we do is driven by what ever you want this world to be And is it you or is it me can you tell me where the dividing lines begin all the things we've heard all the pain and love we've shared still we cannot find the opposite word to sin Who said the cruel should decide the condition we are in did they do it all bringing us to the fall tragic separation has suddenly taken place the cosmic kingdom chaperoned to disgrace their greed and pride became our way of life Strategies segregation revealed these dividing lines placed all the world in fear this anthem of our times the danger's presence always moving near a hymn to praise the devil in their figments of design Angels in the mirror see the demons stare only the innocent would believe in seeing themselves reflected there the state of perpetually concealed strategies segregation revealed can you tell me now where do these dividing lines begin By skin color and creed in wealth and need poverty is the sickness on which society feeds the nations flags those emblems of our racial separation all our lives by a concocted definition split apart by the borderline of a banknotes intervention it's foreign policy a tax to pay before the gates of heaven And is it you or is it me is it them or the fault of we can you tell me where the dividing line begins all the things we've heard all the pain and love we've shared still we cannot find the opposite word to sin
