[Arch Enemy - The Race lyrics]
Where we're all one race
Color, gender, age never could dictate
I saw there was a time
When we valued all life
Nobody oppressed, everyone had rights
Suddenly
In an age where the distance
Between us is binary
All we see
Is an internal war
Friendly fire in the sky and
Respect on the floor
Constricting like a heart attack
A mythomaniac on the loose in the streets
Blood boiling with the burning heat
Of caustic defeat
Now there's no turning back
Ha! So we laugh while the tides all turn
Maiting grey matter, voluntarily slaves
Always searching for the one real truth
So we can misconstrue it to suit our needs
Constricting like a heart attack
A mythomaniac on the loose in the streets
Blood boiling with the burning heat
Of caustic defeat
Now there's no turning back
Ingesting, operant conditioning
Divine contamination
Like lye on flesh - it stings
Trust your leaders
Trust the system, reproduce, repeat
Never question authority
Never suspect deceit
Always on the run
Can't remember where we're running to
Or what we're running from but
We're picking up speed
All the books and broadcast? Jettison!
Without their burden true ethics are freed
Extract the labels that lobotomize
And you'll realize we are all one
Fly or swim, fur or skin
We're alive! Abolitionists rise!
Constricting like a heart attack
A mythomaniac on the loose in the streets
Blood boiling with the burning heat
Of caustic defeat, now don't go turning back
