I awoke today to a world unfamiliar
Almost incandescent haze, burning in my mind
Shook to the core, I wanted to be in the dream once more
A place where I felt safe

Up with the light, I find we've let our hate decide
It's our crime; There's nowhere left to hide from ourselves
No place safe from ourselves
Now we must face the unknown

I choke today, as I breathe in the heavy fog of war
I thought I knew the way down the path that we walked together
I know who I am, but who are you?
Tell me, why don't I see even a small bit of empathy in your eyes?

Divided the better angels of our nature, shot through the heart

And through the night I find we've let our hate decide
It's our crime; There's nowhere left to hide from ourselves
No place safe from ourselves
Now we must face the unknown

You would take the world and burn it down in our name
And you would laugh while you drown under the flame
Tomorrow is a day you won't care for, so we will take up the fight
The future is not yet set in stone -- now we must face the unknown
