Consequences Lyrics

As human beings, we're a complex thing

Sometimes so beautiful, other times so vain

We've built an empire, the blood is on our hands

Genocide and the chains that bind

The consequence ahead

Oh, you ought to know

Oh, you ought to know

Wrote about in history as if it's all O.K.

A race of people murdered another one enslaved

Now our world crumbles, it's happening within

Open your eyes and realize

The world we're living in

Oh, you ought to know

Oh, you ought to know

If we could focus on important things

Live and let live true freedom, not everyone's the same

No more war for your god, no more war for your race

It's our world, it's what we make it

Make it a better place

Oh, you ought to know

Oh, you ought to know

We can change the world that we're living in

Live and let live true freedom 

Let the reign begin
