To forge through this life
For the glory of s...

Rage, responding to rage,
Chiseling on the stone, a heart
Dusted with doubt, jealously,

Do you feel inhumanely rejected?
Is disappointment reflected?

For their unprovoked attack
Since it is forgiveness

Break free from the high-stress atmosphere.

when friend was a friend, years unending;
Government could look us in the eye.
Before hurling insults was trending,

Thinking of others as no more than a distraction
Failing to acknowledge how man...
