Unmasked

Unmasked

Verse 1
My people and I love you
We accept you, we worship you
Even though you resemble our oppressors
We always get down on our knees
And pray to you

When we're afraid, we call unto you
When we're pissed off
We use you as an attack dog
Like a cafeteria, we pick and choose
What we want to consume
Now almost all of us are full of your teachings

Verse 2
You're an incomplete being in a fully formed world
Seeking power to dominate over others
Constructing illusions is at the core of your culture
You're not the standard
Even though many believe that you are

You'll use anything if it's advantageous
For destabilization, you'll create movements
Your inquisitiveness is without boundaries
As a foreigner, you're established to every land and sea

Verse 3
Not many of us dissolve the rhetoric
Even fewer of us challenge the icons
If history is in repetitive modes
Then the cycles of madness are never-ending

Can we neutralize artificial ideologies?
Can we dismantle the houses of inferiorities?
When we're who we are
We're settled into the truth
It's the center of everything
The ultimate authority

Chorus
Reinvention and reincarnation are coming into fruition
Displaced thoughts and images are becoming more clearer
Through decontamination and healing
You've been unmasked
