Equally Immortal
Mind's Eye Lyrics

It's a hateful world
The world is filled with hate

So much anger locked inside of us
There is a lot of repressed anger in people

That's how we are
This is the way we behave

Like a pack of wolves searching for food
We act like a group of animals searching for sustenance

The pain grows
The pain we experience intensifies

And some people just can't take it more
Some individuals reach a breaking point and cannot handle it any longer

Revenge is wrong
Actions driven by a desire for revenge are immoral

When there are innocent people involved
Innocent people can be affected by acts of revenge

Don't count on consequences, don't
Don't expect there to always be consequences for your actions

Don't ask for answers
Don't demand to know the reasons behind certain events

Was it all worth the lives it costed?
Was the outcome worth the loss of human life?

So much for reasons
There seem to be no good reasons for the loss of life

I still think we can change
I maintain hope that we can make a difference

I believe in the fact
I firmly believe

We're all created as the same
We are all fundamentally equal

Equally Immortal
Equally destined to live and die

Can you hear their cries?
Can you hear the sorrows of those who have passed away?

From the restless ghost's we must mourn
We must grieve for the spirits of those who have not found peace

No that's not enough (not enough)
This is insufficient

All this money can't replace my son
No amount of money can bring back my child

I'm tired
I am exhausted

Of the excuses you plant in our heads
I am tired of the justifications people try to give for their actions

Let's blame someone (Anyone)
Let's find someone or something to hold responsible

And let's wipe out his entire race
Let's eliminate an entire group of people because of the actions of a few

Look in the barrel of a gun, what do you find?
What is the true nature of a weapon?

Bullets don't take lives, even if you don't see the light
It is not the bullets that take lives, it is the intent behind them

We can break waves if we unite
We can accomplish great things if we work together

What are the heroes of our time?
Who do we hold up as examples of greatness today?

Immortal?
Are these heroes really immortal, or are they subject to the same fate as everyone else?

And today I wake up, wishing yesterday was just a dream...
I wake up and wish that the events of yesterday were not real

Don't count on consequences, don't...
Don't rely on the consequences of actions to always be just

I still think we can change...
I hold onto hope that we can make a difference
