Tension Rising Lyrics

Surprisingly similar

You and them

One can't help but wonder

Did you misunderstand

In whom can you put your trust now

What do you believe

At which point did this turn into

A mystery

Truly a mystery

How did things get to this stage

Your history

Demands them to be your enemy

But then why do they seem so human

You're reflecting on what you were taught

Cognitive dissonance

A line of thought unexplored

Feel the tension rising

Opposing sides colliding

Mind the dogma of the tales

You are memorizing

The common threat

Still in hiding

And all the while

Animosity grows

Conflict is close

Tension rising

This goes against everything you ever learned

Everything you took for granted

Realization sets in

Those ideas were planted

In your head

And this might be true for them too

Yes, indeed you were fooled

But by whom

By whom

Feel the tension rising

Opposing sides colliding

Mind the dogma of the tales

You are memorizing

The common threat

Still in hiding

And all the while

Animosity grows

Conflict is close

Tension rising

Their eyes, their hands

The same as yours

Their speech, their manners

The same as yours

They don't engage

Defy their laws

Newfound awareness

It's the same as yours

You forge a pact

To find what caused this

You know it is real now

Albeit abstract

A whole new purpose

To your existence

The end of ignorance

Feel the tension rising

Opposing sides colliding

Mind the dogma of the tales

You are memorizing

The common threat

Still in hiding

And all the while

Animosity grows

Conflict is close

Tension rising
