	I was born into a system constructed for failure
	It’s a sinking ship manned by drunken sailors
	An escape artist behind the bars of a jailor
	An asthmatic attack when we forgot the inhaler
	If the shoe doesn’t fit what good is a tailor
	In the midst of a crisis please cancel the gala
	Without a symphony there’s no need for a prelude
	To foreshadow what’s to come.
	See the secret committees, commence with their meetings
	To make red tape in response to simple questions
	Questions threaten the perception of the beneficial systems
	A pyramid scheme with it’s cogs and it’s pistons
	Mechanization of men, making more and more
	Live in a miserable exhistance
	How can so few, claim so many victims
	And this begs the question
	My rest is a weapon against the oppression
	Of mans obsession to control things
	Look at the long line of make believe kings
	The lord of the flies want’s you to kiss his ring
	Follow new rules with invisible strings
	And become a puppet in the diabolical scheme
	How do good men become part of the regime
	They don’t believe in resistance.
	Hold fast like an anchor in the storm
	We will not be moved
	Lesson number one, overcome
	Every fear of regret and confusion
	It’s all illusion, delusion
	Sent to disconnect the holy fusion
	Of spirit and the flesh
	Every mortal breath, is meant to bring forth fire
	But only when the fear of death, gets consumed
	On the funeral pier
	So let the flames rise higher
	Let every man be considered a liar
	If he doubts the goodness and faithfulness of God
	Itching ears will compulsively nod in approval
	When unbelief is taught in all our temples and schools
	But God can restrain the madness of a fool
	He can bring His truth through the mouth of a mule
	You can move an mountain without any tools
	It just takes the faith of a little seed
	to make a way through what might seem to be
	Impossibility,
	And the ability will match the occasion
	The outcome will defy explanation
	The liberation will not be televised
	When it arrives like lightning in the skies
	Hold fast like an anchor in the storm
	For your love, we will rise and overcome
	Through the fire
	Hold fast my people and sing
	Through peace and through suffering
	All for the joy that it brings, to be free
	It’s gonna cost us everything
	To follow one Lord and King
	True love endures everything
	To be free
	Hold fast, like an anchor in the storm
	We will not be moved

	I was born into a system constructed for failure

	Without a symphony there' s no need for a prelude
	To foreshadow what' s to come.
