Hate Crime

Learn to hate, before you walk
Disdain for life in every thought
Shrapnel ripping through your chest
Raining shards of innocence

Was this a defect in their mind
Or are they just left a thousand years behind

Purity, at any cost
Taught to worship a crooked cross
Speak your name and blood runs cold
Live in power and die alone

Ignorance breeds lies in you
We’re driven to despise all that you do
Taken back through time
Hero or Hate Crime

All they know is fucking hate
Gripped with fear so far away
Trapped inside an iron grave
So many prayers have been denied
The bodies falling from the sky

Hacked to pieces by an angry crowd
Vengeance is spilling onto the ground
The smell of hate is in the air
The story told is just a deadman’s stare

We’re driven to despise all that you do
Taken back through time
Hero or Hate Crime
