A nation on fire

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
[Chorus:]
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
[Chorus]
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
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
[Chorus:]
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
[Chorus]
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
