A nation of cowards.   Our ideals betrayed.   Tides of injustice.   Traitors to ourselves.     Offer my entrails as   sacrifice to your God,   and then imagine what   we could have had.   A call for justice,   or a call for treason?   The universal problem-solver.   Please don't shoot   until you see the   whites of their eyes,   a recurring cry.     Strap him down and his   evils will be reconciled.   Flip the switch and   everything will be alright.     A nation of cowards.   Our ideals betrayed.   Tides of injustice.   Traitors to ourselves.    Inject the poison to   make us feel safe.(x3)     It will crush you,   shattered teeth and   broken bones all in   spite of your best intentions.   It will consume you,   ruined lives and tortured   souls all because of your   need for a scapegoat.   I have ignored this carnage   for far too long, but now   my conscience has caught   up with my heart.     Carry me away on wings   that cannot fly to the   land of second chances   where hope conquers fear.    these lyrics are submitted by Johnny Vengence
