In the Fingernails

Theres a new war starting in the world today
To halve the have-nots while we look away
The game of empires pawns
We fall right through the chessboard
I will not fall for the black and white
Armed with no options
Were ghosts in the fight
I wont pull the trigger on the world for you
Underground in ever city eye to eye
Defined by our choices not where we divide
In every city ear to ear
I hear the echoes of another way
Every living day and I know that I am not alone
Inside I know the fault lies with us
Too guarded to contact
Too frightened to trust
Someones heroes are someones terrorists
Watch the elites fall over themselves
To squeeze blood from a stone
I wont sell out my reasoning
And I know that I am not alone in every city eye to eye Defined by our choices not where we divide
Underground in every city ear to ear
I hear the echoes of another way ever living day
And I know that I am not alone
I hear the echoes
And I will not fall for the black and white
Armed with no options
Were ghosts in the fight
I wont pull the trigger on the world for you.
