Wasting the Land Lyrics

In a land where freedom once rang clear

Now echoes of dogma is all we can hear

With blinders on their eyes they can't see

The truth is out there but they disagree

Oh the ones who cling to their false ideals

Tear down what we've built while they bar the appeal

With hearts so closed they can't let go

Their deadly beliefs are society's woe

They preach with a fervor blind and bold

But their truth's not worth its weight in gold

They preach from their pulpits made of lies

Demanding we all conform no surprise

Their values their chains they try to enforce

But freedom of thought they just can't endorse

Oh the ones who cling to their false ideals

Tear down what we've built while they bar the appeal

With hearts so closed they can't let go

Their deadly beliefs are society's woe

They preach with a fervor blind and bold

But their truth's not worth its weight in gold

What's right what's wrong they claim to know

But their words are the shackles that won't let us grow

In the name of belief they divide

A society in ruin with nowhere to hide

Demanding silence demanding control

They're killing the spirit of our collective soul

The cost is high the damage real

As divisions grow the wounds don't heal

Society crumbles under their might

When all they can see is black and white

Oh the ones who cling to their false ideals

Tear down what we've built while they bar the appeal

With hearts so closed they can't let go

Their deadly beliefs are society's woe

They preach with a fervor blind and bold

But their truth's not worth its weight in gold

When freedom of thought is seen as a threat

We're breeding division the discord is set

In the name of belief we wage our wars

But peace and progress walk right out the door

The door
