doomed and damned to fall

we're on the other side of that wall now.
the other side of that wall.
we've lost what made us special.
we're doomed and damned to fall.

when neighbors can't trust neighbors
and everyone rationalizes
the fear and hate consuming them,
the murder, pain and lies

we're on the other side of that wall now.
the other side of that wall.
we've lost what made us special.
we're doomed and damned to fall.

a beacon, once, of freedom
now locked behind the shame
of what we'd do to muddle through
shallow hallows of our shame.

we're on the other side of that wall now.
the other side of that wall.
we've lost what made us special.
we're doomed and damned to fall.

our leaders? most are feeders
in a trough we fill with greed
over things we never finished
leaving most in need to bleed.

we're on the other side of that wall now.
the other side of that wall.
we've lost what made us special.
we're doomed and damned to fall.

we'd steal and feel it was our right,
bash a fag and wave a flag,
hypocrisy in the land of the free
our birthright, bloody and bright.

we're on the other side of that wall now.
the other side of that wall.
we've lost what made us special.
we're doomed and damned to fall.
