The Strongest Magnet

When the sun rises higher
My degree of hope is left behind to suffer down low
With a world on fire
The sun is null and mute even to those with blood that flows
Primitive desire
To see a peace between your brother and the man you don't know
Yet look at the fire
Its flickering sets the blame to things far over human control

And the satellites stay stagnant
Because conflict is the strongest magnet
And the land of the free becomes home of the greed
As we keep making presumptions without any lead

Corpse of my happiness, walk with me
And tell me what fulfilled the pains of yonder sorrow
And I'll alert my nerves to listen closely and heed the message of the words that follow
The only thing I am guaranteed, I am guaranteed
Is the choice
Of the way that I act when the values I track, when the values I track
Are in the wrong voice

Yet the satellites stay stagnant
Because truth repels the greatest masses
And the advice that I heed becomes stranger to me
As I will myself to steady breathing

Yet the satellites stay stagnant
Because conflict is the strongest magnet
Yeah the satellites stay stagnant, ooh
Because conflict is the strongest magnet
