We Pray, We Pray... (Part 2)

We pray for wings, As our halos are destroyed
We pray for the wind to take us, As the whispers are carried away
We pray for redemption, With mouths that carry treason and hate
We pray, We pray… Instead of picking up our tools and paving the way
We pray, We pray… We reach for the sky while digging our own graves

Stand divided, And our empire will crumble
Fall divided, And our empire will burn
There can be no revolution without sacrifice
There can no progress without blisters and broken bones
Stand united, And our empire will flourish
Fall united, And our empire will live in infamy
There can be no hope if we continue to lay in our graves
There can be no belief if we throw each other to the wolves
Build statues to the heroes, But never forsake the cause they died for
