Lyrics
If you hate someone for no reason
But their nationality, religion, sexual orientation or race
Then let me cut you open and show that we all
Bleed the same
If you don't accept a man who didn't choose his own flaws
Then you have no right to judge him and what he's lost
But the archetype for our former selves
A dichotomy that's left us an empty shell
Our own insecurities breed the borders of our hate
Leave us shuffling back and forth in endless debates
The way that I see may not be the same in your eyes
But if you're pushing hate, all tolerance is pushed aside
Divided we will fall, and be buried in the mud
Like the rest of our past that's been defined by
The abuse, the disgust, the fall from grace
It's a pity we still treat our fellow man this way
If your idea of peace is weeding out the weak
Then look in the mirror and admit defeat
Your excuses, your arguments
Your defenses to your monuments
Syphoned rhetoric
In an act so pathetic
The barriers will break and be swept by the flood
Our prejudice this illusion defined by blood
Blood is on your hands
And you won't admit it
Blood is on your hands
And you won't say why
There's a difference between pride and arrogance
If you don't see it now, you never will
Until you see the world in a way that doesn't benefit yourself
Blood is on your hands
