Walk Astray - BoySetsFire

Where were you the day they stole our innocence

And arranged a sacrifice for everyone in town

Drove all the words yet to be written underground

To save the money on the kerosene they’d need

Were you awake or were you sleeping

Or just too afraid to disagree?

Well, I don’t wanna sing about freedom anymore

I wanna see it, I wanna feel it

I wanna know that it still sits beyond the lies that we’ve been told

Beyond the wars that keep our families from home

I know that there’s a way

Dear God let there be a way

To change the path we’re on

And believe in a better day

Our dreams are their worst nightmares, these songs, a call to arms

We can dance on the graves that held us, we can change the course of time

Stand up and fight, save yourself

Strike, the time is now

You and me, we are more like sheep

Forced to march, crippled feet, to the slaughter

I’ll stand on principle, banner lifted and a fist raised high

Filthy soul with a patriot heart, dancing rhythms in a world apart

Stand up and fight, save yourself

Strike, the time is now

You and me, we are more like sheep

Forced to march, crippled feet, to the slaughter

You and me, we can live like thieves

On the dreams that we stole from their fears

Casting pearls before swine, hanging dead on the vine

Can we strive to be so much more than this

Casting pearls before swine, hanging dead on the vine

Can we strive to be so much more than this

You and me, we are more like sheep

Forced to march, crippled feet, to the slaughter

To the slaughter …
