Can we say that we are free  Our hands are bound and voices silent  I'm sure it's not a dream  I am awake, my eyes are open    I can't accept and won't concede  In aftermath we find redemption  The causes that are seized  And disguised as revolution    Quell the rage that deeply seethes  The extremes of these devotions  Dismantle the machine  The device of their creation    I can't accept and won't concede  That this is who we are  The conflict that is seized  And disguised as greater notions    To the songs that sing of glory and the brave  Are we dreaming there are better days to come  When will the banners and the victory parades  Celebrate the day a better world was won    On the day, the storm has just begun  I will still hope there are  Better days to come    In the face of what I say  My words will turn to anger  Malevolence in need  Cannot provide direction    I won't accept this thought  That this is who we are  Positions never change  Losing all forward motion    All of that which deeply seethes  Temper your devotion  Dismantle the machine  The device of your convictions    I can't accept and won't concede  That this is who we are  The conflict that is seized  And disguised as greater notions    To the songs that sing of glory and the brave  Are we dreaming there are better days to come  When will the banners and the victory parades  Celebrate the day a better world was won    To the songs that sing of glory and the brave  Are we dreaming there are better days to come  When will the banners and the victory parades  Celebrate the day a better world was won    On the day the storm has just begun  I will still hope there are  Better days to come    On the day the storm has just begun  I will still hope there are  Better days to come    these lyrics are submitted by mta_mta
