OLD DEMONS

THE OLD DEMONS ARE BACK ON TRACK
ARE YOU REALLY SURE THEY EVER DIED OUT?
WILL WE EVER LEARN TO OVERCOME THE PAST?

TOXIC DEFIANCE BETWEEN THE NATIONS
XENOPHOBIA IS THE NEW RELIGION
WILL WE EVER LEARN TO SEE BEYOND BIAS?

LIVING IN FEAR UNDER YOUR WAIVING FLAGS
BUILDING NEW WALLS AND SEGREGATION
WILL WE EVER LEARN TO SHARE OUR WEALTH?

I SEE MILITIA MEN CRUISING ON THE STREETS
LAW AND ORDER TO SEDATE THE MASSES
WILL WE EVER LEARN TO HEAL OUR OLD WOUNDS?

I SEE POPULISTS FUELING THE FIRES
SPREADING THEIR HATRED AS THE NEW STATE VISION
WILL WE EVER LEARN TO RESIST BRAINWASHING?

IS THIS THE WAY YOU SEE YOUR FUTURE?
TRAPPED BY FEAR AND INDOCTRINATION
OPEN YOUR EYES! DON’T GLORIFY THESE LIES!

INCENSING THE PAST WON’T BUILD OUR FUTURE
DECAYING DOGMAS ARE NOT THE KEY
HELP US TO BREAK FREE FROM THIS VICIOUS CIRCLE!

A GLOBAL WORLD NEEDS GLOBAL THINKING
FREE FROM FAKE NEWS AND MANIPULATION
JOIN US TO BE BUILD THE FREE WORLD OF TOMORROW!
