Rhyme of Reason

It's a turning point in time
A history that tells of lies and crimes
One percent shepherd and 99 blind
Led to the slaughter in a single file line

Be it less or more the same
We must shed our skins, forget the blame
See ourselves with love not shame
To ease our hearts of this endless pain

Be this a view of the past
We've come a long way but we're moving too fast
We keep pushing the threshold, how long can it last?
Further and further toward it's collapse

But now comes a chance for change
Resist the division lest we all be estranged
Unity is never too far out of range
We can throw in the towel or make the exchange
