Текст песни Divided Nation - Zahna

Do I divide, or raise the banner high
Of a dying nation (a flame that's failing?)
(you said you want it, don't you want it, don't you throw it away)

If you ask me what I'm feeling
May not like what I say
But if it's so called freedom-of-speech, well
(You said you want it! Don't you want it! Don't you throw it away!)

In the Land of the Free
And the Home of the Brave
We can't talk like we own ourselves
(You said you want it, hope you know you'll never silence me!)
If everything's an apology
We're only lying to ourselves!

Do I divide, or raise the banner high
Of a dying nation, a flame that's failing
Should I arise, with my arms lifted high
And a heart unshaken
(a blade unstained!)

Everyone's up in arms,
Dying to be the right ones
As the grand stories of the media sell
(You say and claim it, fabricate it, don't you lie to my face!)

But let the conflict come
So we can grow as one,
Don't believe the spreading lies
(You'll only conquer to divide but never fight to grow inside!)
If we claim all words as hypocrisy, we only do this to ourselves!

Do I divide, or raise the banner high
Of a dying nation, a flame that's failing
Should I arise, with my arms lifted high
And a heart unshaken
(a blade unstained!)

This wasn't how it's supposed to be
We're not the patriots we promised
When you go to war for lost causes
We're just soldiers with bloody badges
Riots replace democracy
But that's okay, it's the 'Merican way
Dissension is the virus
(I pledge allegiance to the United States of this American crisis!)

(You said you want it, I still want it,
Don't you want it? Don't you need it?
Don't you throw it away!)
