Equal? We never were.
An early death,
show no concern.
Another sister, awaits her turn.
Lock them up,
won't they learn?
Another brother, awaits their turn.
Above, below and in between.
A peaceful life of suffering.
See no future.
See only pain.
Equal?
We never were.

'THE LESSON'
The lines were set, and then you stepped
Taking all from those, what for eternity was theirs
Without a second thought,
Unacknowledged degrees of separation work so Unapologetically
Systematic oppression must be quelled
The lessons must be taught
For bloodshed and murder, it's nothing to be proud. Your celebration's set on contradicting grounds,
History erased, oppress those who remain
The only solution for past transgression -
Into the minds of the ignorant
We must drill...
The fucking... lesson

A promising future behind you:
Every bright prospect get shattered to bits
Everything falls short of the
Expectations that you set
What was once ahead of you
looks dull fading in the rear view.
Entering a world of grey in incremental decay
Every bright prospect get shattered to bits
Everything falls short of the expectations that you set
Life has come, sucked you dry
And you're left unfulfilled
Time has gone
passed you by
And you're left unfulfilled
You're unfulfilled
left unfulfilled

Got the dollar sign hanging over our heads
Bred to walk this path of pain and regret
Force to be spending on want and need
A culture bound to sickness, power and greed
I can feel something pulling at me
I cant bare to stand on my own two feet
Got our dirty hands around earths neck
Choking for resource, so close to death
Soon the flames will come on crashing in
Can’t escape the heat, when the madness begins
I can feel something pulling at me
Can you help me when the madness begins?
Evil Hands – I can’t be free
Evil Hands – Power and Greed
