Humanity First
Brother and sister we need you to see
It all comes after humanity
It's a game of secrets whispers shadows and lies
Informants, intelligence, sleeper cells and spies
The world looks on, knowing but not understanding the purpose
Tectonic plans in action, wreak havoc on the surface
The circle of blood, when did it all begin?
We know for sure it exists, and continues to spin
Now more than ever, peace is the need of the hour
No repeat, rest in peace the 141 of Peshawar
The human race has seen it before
Religion warped into propaganda for war
"The person who doesn't worship our way, dies"
A kid pushes a button, more than one mother cries
Innocent People slaughtered to make messages known
Open letters to the world, written in blood of its own
I must die, 'cause I'm infidel, the religious "other"
Rather that than humanity's "other", my brother
Don't you see how you continue tearing us apart?
Self destruction that can be traced back to the start
We remain the family that never was you and me
It all comes after humanity
Sister, you're fighting fire with fire: we're all burning
A beheading, an air strike: the bloody circle keeps turning
Bearded, brown: evil, there's something they may know
You'll always get the answer you want: Guantanamo
Popular culture and government, working in tandem
Like: "Sir, this security check is random"
Plans made in caves or bases, both mean bloodshed
Collateral damage, non believers: both join the dead
Brother do you fight for god or 'cause they killed your son?
Sister, for what's right? or 'cause of what's already been done?
Strong beliefs diluted by violence into pretence
Planes and bullets flew before the talking could commence
The violent path was chosen and paved with the limbs of man
Now ease the world's pain in a way only both of you can
Make this come full circle, walk the other path
Bring it out in the open, let a battle of words start
We don't know enough, this war has been long
The lines have slowly blurred between right and wrong
So we cannot choose but we'll stand with you and heal
United as a species, by everything we feel
'Cause for this war you're fighting, our world is too small
But big enough to be divided, if it means peace for us all
It all comes after humanity
It's a game of secrets whispers shadows and lies
Informants, intelligence, sleeper cells and spies
The world looks on, knowing but not understanding the purpose
Tectonic plans in action, wreak havoc on the surface
The circle of blood, when did it all begin?
We know for sure it exists, and continues to spin
Now more than ever, peace is the need of the hour
No repeat, rest in peace the 141 of Peshawar
The human race has seen it before
Religion warped into propaganda for war
"The person who doesn't worship our way, dies"
A kid pushes a button, more than one mother cries
Innocent People slaughtered to make messages known
