lyrics

THE ANNEX(ATION OF ISLAM)

Channeling a frequency you can’t explain if you tried
You’ve witnessed, but can’t describe
We stand divided
Collecting all the noise we make, a fraction goes into sound worth having around
And we hide behind it
Wanna spit, say or write the words that fit
When the sentence gets caught then they sentence it to the wandering mind
(Newsstand provided) We stand divided
This problem’s bigger everyday
With candles and vigils you feel like you chase it away
Light them, touché
To pass down the line that has formed for a chance to be seen on the news of the day
Oh no, you dare call it occupation, and leave us to fight on both sides of the line
Ergo, forestall the operation and blame our efforts for the loss of life
We stand divided
You roam the wrong side of the religious seas
You cater to the people you will never please
The bolder get martyred
Before they get smarter
You say that you can read me like the back of your Koran
Your arrogance is greater than I can contend
The fight (the fight) will end (we’ll win) tonight (tonight)
If we stand united
This problem’s bigger everyday
With candles and vigils you feel like you chase it away
Well, light up, touché
And pass the pain
When the right words escape you just find something easy to say
It’s a slight demeaning and bit romantic
(Hey, it gets violent)
It’s a fight for meaning in a state of panic
(We’re all just fading away)
One eye on your culture, one more on its status
(We fight the feeling we’re in a war)
Unitedly divided
With the countless divisions it’s hard just to keep them all straight
Withhold information no one is informed anyway
With the countless divisions and moral disorder
We put out one fire to light up another
With the countless divisions
When it all just gets in the way
We all just sit down
And the time is ours, Oh we waste
We all just sit around
When the end is seconds away
We’ll all just sit down
We all just sit down
It’s pitiful.
