Shine the light upon me again
For I have spoken many words
Words that fly frequently past the ears
Of the myopic individual
Dreams of a nation nourished in time
Left to die upon a desert of lies
I'm trying to incite a riot within
'Coz all is broken and barren
Beneath the surface of skin

See, the cancer is in us
Look away and all is over
Undivided, undecided man

Would you let me in
Before it's too late to live?
Break away from comfort
And security and sin

Within us is the enemy

Comfort breeds the lazy in a bed
Sores are bleeding cold indifference
Seek into the hours of your life
Have you ever realized the lack of sacrifice
So tap into the core of your own
Remember fire burning in your name
Every moment passes us
Like ashes in the wind
Fleeting away

Shine the light upon me again
I wanna break free
Break free from these chains
I am locked up in shame now
Shine the light upon me again
I wanna break free
Break free from these chains
I am locked up in
Would you let me in?
