Youth of a broken nation

I am the son

of a thousand broken gods

The gods that offer righteousness

for 50 cents on the dollar

Their dollars of damnation

I am the polarization

of the morality you have reversed

I am the earth

beneath the walls you built in the name of freedom

I am the fire

burning in the hearts of a thousand lost children

I am all you have made me,

Yet i am all you seek to forget.
