Life of Exile - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Ben Duerr & Chris Wiseman]

Again, they've come to tear down our ideals

With prestigious grins, staring down at us

Dispelled from the region only to return thirty cycles past

These wounds recur; is this the day I die?

[Pre-Chorus: Ben Duerr]

Forced away, driven into these holes

We leave behind our memories of home

I've lost all that I know

Everything I own was taken away from me

Amidst the silence, distant foreboding cries

The ambience of warfare chills my bones

It should have been me; why did you have to take them away?

Now I ask myself, is this the day I die?

Forced away, driven into these holes

We leave behind our memories of home

I've lost all that I know

Everything I own was taken away from me

Lying low from the sterilization of the earth

The roars overhead have chased all wildlife off

Each way out has been cordoned off

Accumulation of displacement

These cellars won't protect us all

We will soon meet the same perilous end

As the times change, they continue to resist

A perverse aggression of no limit

As the cities crumble, a rise of fists

Now they hunt them down, back to where they live

Taught to kill

From the day they were born

We never asked for conflict

But the world views us as the enemy

I've lost all that I know

Everything I own was taken away from me

I've lost all that I know

Everything I own was taken away from me
