August Burns Red - The Narrative lyrics
[August Burns Red - The Narrative lyrics]
Prey on ideals feed on devotion
Just to get a rise trigger our emotions
Deliver images that never should be shown
Everything is done with manipulation
Put that spin on it
Get our feelings riding high
Share that take of it enrage the other side
A quiet protest forms a million
Furious loud voices (Voices)
They drown out what's important
Drop the blindfold
Your values are bought and sold
These armies are clashing
These people are listening
They’re all forming our stories
But are they worth our attention?
Theories before proof
Judgement before evidence no justification
For your speculation theories before proof
Judgement before evidence
This method's been broken
Since it's inception
Silver linings laced with agendas
Your motives concealed by camouflage
Maybe it's time we turn to our brother
Settle our differences
Believe in one another
They want to breed division
We chose to resist their mission
We will bind this world we live in
These armies are clashing
These people are listening
They’re all forming our stories
But are they worth our attention?
We can't see the facts
They've been kidnapped we'll hunt them down
Set them free from their traps
Dig a little deeper change what we inherited
Power to the people
Or power to the narrative?
Dig a little deeper change what we inherited
Power to the people or the narrative?
Just to get a rise trigger our emotions
Deliver images that never should be shown
Everything is done with manipulation
Put that spin on it
Get our feelings riding high
Share that take of it enrage the other side
A quiet protest forms a million
Furious loud voices (Voices)
They drown out what's important
Drop the blindfold
Your values are bought and sold
These armies are clashing
These people are listening
They’re all forming our stories
But are they worth our attention?
Theories before proof
Judgement before evidence no justification
For your speculation theories before proof
Judgement before evidence
This method's been broken
Since it's inception
Silver linings laced with agendas
Your motives concealed by camouflage
Maybe it's time we turn to our brother
Settle our differences
Believe in one another
They want to breed division
We chose to resist their mission
We will bind this world we live in
These armies are clashing
These people are listening
They’re all forming our stories
But are they worth our attention?
We can't see the facts
They've been kidnapped we'll hunt them down
Set them free from their traps
Dig a little deeper change what we inherited
Power to the people
Or power to the narrative?
Dig a little deeper change what we inherited
Power to the people or the narrative?
