Resound the outcry, raise the signal of distress We are compromised They have silenced our dissent A dull complacency covers humanity This systematic hate of deceit
How many more will die before we realize the truth has been disguised?
[Chorus:] Violence increased no justice and no peace In the great deceit The discontent silenced or put to death In the great deceit It's mental slavery
Our segregation is further fed by ignorance This disconnection through color of the flesh Blood of generations, saturate our roots But history conceals the truth
[Chorus:] Violence increased no justice and no peace In the great deceit The discontent (the discontent) silenced or put to death In the great deceit This is a great deceit
How can we breathe? The silence is killing me How can we breathe? Who is the enemy? How can we breathe? Suffocate humanity How can we breathe? No justice, no peace
