Crack in the Shadow of the Empire

Questions

Questioning everything I ever had, was told, 

Saw, as two roads diverged but by hatred, 

by lack of understanding, 

by no other reason than to be different

on one side stood red, for all who bleed red

the other side blue, for water runs through us all

fire and fiery hot tempers 

water and ice, and hearts like your ex's. 

They gather together and beat their fists

They think not of the people, not for them nay but for their own self interests

Their own self-righteous gains, 

The could have beens and should have beens rotting away

And oh how they wail like children

Both sides fearing compromise

But with such opposing views how could they stand together? 

When divided is all they have ever known, and all they ever will be.
