In the Shadows of Our Minds Lyrics

We built a tower to the skies

Choking out the earth beneath

We raise our flags of greed and lies

And claim it's all in search of peace

We drain the oceans bleed the land

With bloodstained hands we take a stand

The sirens wail but we don't care

We dance while drowning in despair

In the shadows of our minds

We're the monsters we can't find

Tear down the walls pretend we're blind

But there's no peace no love to bind

Oh we're the poison in the vein

Riding on a runaway train

In the mirror it's all the same

It's us it's us feeding the flame

The children cry but who's to hear?

Their voices drowned by endless fear

The rich grow fat the poor stay still

A twisted game of power and will

We drop the bombs we pull the strings

A puppet show for dying kings

The screens are flashing bright with lies

But we just laugh while conscience dies

In the shadows of our minds

We're the monsters we can't find

Tear down the walls pretend we're blind

But there's no peace no love to bind

Oh we're the poison in the vein

Riding on a runaway train

In the mirror it's all the same

It's us it's us feeding the flame

And the light fades flickers dim

We look away as hope grows thin

We tear the wings off the dove

Pretend it's all in the name of love

In the shadows of our minds

We're the monsters we can't find

Tear down the walls pretend we're blind

But there's no peace no love to bind

Oh we're the poison in the vein

Riding on a runaway train

In the mirror it's all the same—

It's us it's us feeding the flame

So we march on toward the void

With every soul we have destroyed

The anthem of the human race—

A tragedy we can't erase
