This Is Who We Are

We turn the page like grains of sand

Drifting on the open shore

We want for nothing less

And yearn for nothing more

In the distance walks a man

You're sure you've seen before

Rolling with the tide

He carries battle scars of war

Jaded sense of glory

A shadow avatar

Heavy on the shoulders

With his fading repertoire

Reaching for the heavens

Shooting for the stars

Turns to dust in front of us

This is who we are

He makes a cage from all that rage

An antique dinosaur

Jacked in to the mainframe

Where he's harder to ignore

Vitriolic violence spitting

Venom we deplore

Lose him to the endless noise

Of all-out civil war

Jaded sense of glory

A shadow avatar

Heavy on the shoulders

With his fading repertoire

Reaching for the heavens

Shooting for the stars

Turns to dust in front of us

This is who we are

This is who we are
