lyrics

The sun sets, you feel it setting in.
This uneasy tension in your chest.
I know the streets seem different.
It’s not easy, believe me.

Too many times we see the news, unsettling turn of events.
So easy to ignore, from the other side of the fence.

How could you forget? Not an object, but a person.
How could you forget? It’s not about you, change your mindset.
How can we pretend? They're standing right in front of you.
It’s time to take a stand, to cure this social disease.

He’s closing in on you now, watching, waiting.
Hide in the shadows from the light, it will be over soon.
He’s closing in on you now, watching, waiting.
You’ll never see it coming and it should never happen.

I know what happens next, judge, jury, executioner.
I know you didn’t picture this, it’s not something you plan for.
I know he sees the truth, a monster, vile piece of garbage.
I know you will not meet your end, without putting up a fight.

Is this what we want? A generation born of fear.
Is this what we choose? Will this be our legacy?

Raise your sons not to hate, Raise your daughters free of blame.
Raise your children to respect, the consequences of their actions.
Raise your sons not to hate, Raise your daughters free of blame.
Raise your children better than you, the future could be our last hope.
Raise your sons not to hate, Raise your daughters free of blame.
Raise your children with compassion, or be left with something heartless.

Bursting onto the local scene like a broken water main, their first single “Hell is empty” is leaving one hell of a first impression. ... more
