Generations Lyrics

He was the kind of simple man who never felt understood

Evacuated, no plan, survival is all they could

Amidst the circumstance, believing the hope and good

Would guide them across the land, secure their own livelihood

But how could they all have known the truth amidst the deceit

Believing we hold our own, when knowledge ain't so complete

Complicit to all the bias, so they simply took a seat

Took a knee down on the pews, genuflected to defeat

They conceded to the norm, wonder if they took the time

To hear the spirit that calls in whispers of our past lives

Before the power was lost and history was erased

Accepted his very fate, they didn't care anyway

So what happens for the child, the many who seize the day

The many who lose themselves when seeking a type of faith

They no longer hear the cries

They no longer care to pray

They no longer want the lies

For his mind is set astray, set astray, yeah

Several decades later, the children now all neighbors

Returning all these favors, yet the bonds still waver

Generational pain

Stealing land for acclaim

Stealing money but flame the individual hate

He was familiar with disdain, anxiety was to blame

Never had abused but the pain still lacerate

Life he seemed to choose, never bothered to complain

Wonder if his condition was just a product of his fate?

I inherit the earth and all the stains

Machete, spears and of faith

Embody ancestral legacy, hoping it's not too late

Power and all resentment my savagery can't be tamed

Feelin' the will of fire, like a duty to remain

Encapsulated, indicative of my name

Despite frustration, a syndicate for the maimed

A heavy heart buried deep within my brain

Elusive, but not exclusive, intrusive by every grain, yeah

Let these stories live through all the pain

Fuck, let these stories live through all the pain

Through all the pain

Through all the pain
