lyrics

I met my enemy
and he was just like me

Fighting to plan
for love and land

and an illusion of being free

Obeying invisible orders
Obedient to ingrained myths

Each held a burning sword
I held mine against his

I fought my enemy
and he was just like me

Fighting to plan
for love and land

and an illusion of liberty

Hating that he stood before me
Hating that he breathed and lived

Each held a burning sword
I struck mine against his

Divided nation
Isolated hearts

Can I hitch a ride on your broken wheeled cart?

Help me sister as I scream and moan
because I pillaged my own village
and torched my own home

Divided nation
Isolated hearts

Can I hitch a ride on your broken wheeled cart?

In fields of death
my seed is sown
because I pillaged my own village
and I torched my own home

I killed my enemy
‘cos he was just like me

Fighting to plan
for love and land

and an imaginary victory

We were the angels of atrocities
no sin-eater could forgive

Each held a burning sword
but the flesh that was pierced was his

Divided nation

Isolated hearts...
