Woke before the mornig sun, I found it tucked beneath the hills
I sat and watched it rise, it hit the sky and burst to flames
the lotus flower's got me thinking about the way that we live
I've got this feeling... it's gonna stop
driven by religion, running backwards down a one way road
a course collision, split decision, trying to save your soul
"manifest destiny" is just a fancy word for murder
I've got this feeling... it's gonna stop
a billion faces running round my head
all got opinions but they don't mean shit
keep dropping bombs til the whole world's dead
they said it's all been done, it's all been said
they'll turn this message into a pop movement, a fashion statement, call it politics
you can mark my words they'll put a spin on it, they say it's all been done...
look outside the box, my friend, your heart's been dead since who knows when
it seems we've missed the mark, lost all hope and given in
pack up the suitcase, take that handkerchief and wipe off your chin
the fear that drives you needs to be stopped
fell into a daze and found my mind was gone and laid to waste
a battleground indeed, where holy wars have taken place
i saw the sun set watched it travel down
and tear through the ground

the hate that drives us

needs to be stopped
