[Verse 1]

We were humans, we transformed into people

We were original, we became our sequel

Wrong choices, we called 'em mistakes

Real warnings, regarded 'em fakes

Last chances, we took 'em as first

We got lost, but named it a quest

We thought we were angry, we lied to us

We tried to see future when we can't see our past

We used a smile to hide our pain

We put our thoughts in a premade frame

We call other crazy, when we are insane

We all were calm, then nemesis came

Self made liars, truth too hard to swallow

Created idols, we needed someone to follow

Kneeled before gods, cause they told us so

Belief was lost, our hauter been shown

We never loved no thing, only got used to it

Overused it, was over, before we even knew it

We cared about minority but we did nothing

Hypocrisy, for all to see, when you can't hear us crying

We cried in silence, because we cried inside

And the internal tears did corrode our pride

We were struck, we fell, we hit rock bottom

Ashamed of ourselves because of stronger's odium

Disgraced, cause slaves deserve none more than hate

All this pain, we face, but we still do none more than wait

We wait

To give us a power called freedom

We enslave ourselves the way we treat 'em

We may lack force, but we don't lack the wisdom

You know, the blood of an helot is what rules a kingdom


[Bridge]

Helots' minds create monsters

But Helots' souls get no love

We never meant to be enslaved

Modern day made us, though

Helots down in streets and buildings

No will, no feel at all

We die for someone else's sinning

But after all that's what we chose


[Verse 2]

So many question I got so many statements I made

But being sure for the past can't help me today

Only make me wonder

Why be angry, why feel great

Why trynna destroy, why trynna create?

Why feel free if it's proved I'm a slave

I'm just unable to accept my fate

Or maybe I'm afraid

So I'll just live to wait

Took my soul I protected and threw it at waste

Now I wanna pray to be again what I've been

Cause I may hate god-praising, but that doesn't mean

I don't wanna raise my head high, aim at the sky

Ask for divine help, and then have it mine

I'm still a human, and there's times I need a god

What you created, what you called, what you needed

I need it more

But if it was real, it'd give more than a chance

That's why people choose the devil for these songs to dance

If only god was just

Is what i ask for too much?

(It is cause no matter what, you would show no trust)

Cause I'm a hypocrite, who tries to be different

Trynna seem militant and intricate

Being just grandiloquent

That's probably why, I didn't use an "I"

In the entire first verse

I tried to hide in "WE", me and everyone else

But the second is been, honestly dense

I wanna state something

We have no soul, no thinking, no feelings

We were born as kings, we were raised as helots
