Pray For Me, Part 1

I feel your presence when times are getting tough
I see your weapon dressed up as a dove
I feel your presence when times are getting tough
I see your weapon, weapon
Woah
They say they love, they care for peace
They hide in the dark, they don't see (No)
They're chasing the blame, they can't sleep
Are you feeling the same?
Pray for me
They say they lovе (They say they love)
Thеy care for peace (They care for peace)
They hide in the dark, they don't see
They're chasing the blame (Ha), they can't sleep
I know you're feeling the same
Pray for me
Pray for me
Pray for me
Pray for me
I know you're feeling it
I think we know who the villain is
Try throwing us off, we're not missing it
We know the tricks of a ventriloquist
Considering this isn't televised
The revolution isn't withering
So your opinion stick a pin in it
You never know who could be listening
I got my criticism for ism and schism
That lead to decisions that left in a deficit
Now we're living in suspicion and cynicism
We're not getting the benefit
And we see the innocence slipping
Given the discipline of a hypocrite
We're lost more than we will admit
We're dismissed but we still exist
They say they love, they care for peace
They hide in the dark, they don't see
They're chasing the blame, they can't sleep
Are you feeling the same?
They say they lovе
Thеy care for peace
They hide in the dark, they don't see
They're chasing the blame, they can't sleep
I know you're feeling the same
Pray for me
Fool me once, learn a lesson, question a response
Fool eleven of me
The recurring enemy becomes what we don't want
Never the concern of
As if it's unheard of, 'til the songbird turns to a weapon
Now we're looking for a remedy
Must have slipped their memory
Kage bird gains a melody
Crazed words of a truth seeker
Forever fed up of the felonies
Need a recipe for who's keeper?
They're never sentenced with a penalty
Burned away all of the elements
I tell them what is left isn't a legacy
They say the money's for a better function
But we're more abundant than they'll ever be
We pray the youth are able to discern the real from the fake
A fable can be fatal in the favour of your fate
May the truth be plain for you to see
If you're not awake
They'll tell you whatever it takes
The popular promise is vague
Embrace the brain of the vacant
Enslave them with entertainment
There'll be no complaints of the containment
All in the name of engagement
From the ancients to the greats
To the future in our place
Give them patience, give them faith
Give them approval, give them praiseI
I feel your presence when times are getting tough
I see your weapon dressed up as a dove
I feel your presence when times are getting tough
I see your weapon, weapon
Pray for me
Pray for me
Pray for me
Pray for me
They say they lovе, thеy care for peace
They hide in the dark, they don't see
They're chasing the blame, they can't sleep
I know you're feeling the same
