well i see
i feel
on my way
you close your eyes
scared to think
you might see
a world that spends more to kill than to cure
living
writhing
diseased
so unpure
it hardens me
the things i see
but i won't break
it gives me strength
our suffering
won't always be
we'll dominate
this nation on fire
the media it
blinds our eyes
a people divided
and force feds lies
the black and white societies corrode
warring
hating
blind
a rage explodes
so take my hand across this land
i won't go down
stand my ground
this nation's built on fighting war after war
and for my brothers
i will fight and stand for
'cause i won't break
your truth is fake
if blood ran red
you's leave me for dead
a nation on fire
a nation on fire
you tell me peace
well i hear gunshots all night
the scars i have
i've earned 'cause i've had to fight
an endless pain
and it won't change
we just sat by
and watched this world die
a nation on fire
a nation on fire
