[Verse 1]

Resound the outcry, raise the signal of distress

We are compromised

They have silenced our dissent

A dull complacency covers humanity

This systematic hate of deceit


[Pre-Chorus]

How many more will die before we realize the truth has been disguised?


[Chorus]

Violence increased no justice and no peace

In the great deceit

The discontent silenced or put to death

In the great deceit

It’s mental slavery


[Verse 2]

Our segregation is further fed by ignorance

This disconnection through color of the flesh

Blood of generations, saturate our roots

But history conceals the truth


[Chorus]

Violence increased no justice and no peace

In the great deceit

The discontent (the discontent) silenced or put to death

In the great deceit

This is a great deceit


[Bridge]

How can we breathe? The silence is killing me

How can we breathe? Who is the enemy?

How can we breathe? Suffocate humanity

How can we breathe? No justice, no peace


[Chorus]

Violence, no justice and no peace

In the great deceit

The discontent (the discontent) silenced or put to death

In the great deceit

It's mental slavery
