Trenches

They taught me to feel shame when the devil is your friend
Indoctrinated pain
Generations cuffed by the ghosts of their past
Screaming out for change when the puppet show masks
A sickening parade
Years of the selfish, money, power, gain
Disregard for the helpless, praying for a change
Man, they're young, but they're reckless
Never to be tamed
Running up the place if they're ignoring what we're saying

It's a war against tradition, watch how we ascend
Challenge every culture, set heights without a limit
Evolution, sculpted by the hands of perseverance
Generations healing, the love had been oppressed
Something calling in my memory, I'm spiteful
Overthinking this insanity in cycles
Venom seething in my veins, I let it all out
Turn my pain into power, feel the fall-out, uh

I'll see you in the trenches
I'll see you in the trenches
I'll see you in the trenches
Uh, I said I'll see you in the trenches
I'll see you in the trenches
I'll see you in the trenches
I'll see you in the trenches
Uh, I said I'll see you in the trenches

Leather lungs blackened and I'm choking
Spitting up the phlegm, are these mechanisms coping?
It's a bloodbath, hide, better run fast
Looking at each other like the enemy wears no mask
It's the message that has always been unbreakable
Solidarity is never unattainable
Dedication, my fingertips bleed
My universe determined by my fucking self belief

When you look at me, you're staring at some success
The message, all of me, I'll scream it 'til my deathbed
No revolution if you don't think you're a revolutionary
The minute that we trust ourselves, becoming visionaries
When man just didn't care, the gods up and left
And threw us into chaos, never mind who had bled
I redeem us with this music, seeing more, saying less
Listening to speak with the intent to manifest

I'll see you in the trenches
I'll see you in the trenches
I'll see you in the trenches
Uh, I said I'll see you in the trenches
I'll see you in the trenches
I'll see you in the trenches
I'll see you in the trenches
Uh, I said I'll see you in the trenches
I'll see you in the trenches

Uh, I said I'll see you in the trenches
