Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I can't find the rhyme in all my reason

Lost sense of time and all seasons

Feel I've been beaten down

By the words of men who have no grounds

Can't sleep beneath the trees of wisdom

When your axe has cut the roots that feed them

Forked tongues in bitter mouths

Can drive a man to bleed from inside out

[Verse 2]

What if you did?

What if you lied?

What if I avenge?

What if eye for an eye?

[Verse 3]

I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine

Destroy the man who lacks a strong mind

Human pride sings a vengeful song

Inspired by the times you've been walked on

My stage is shared by many millions

Who lift their hands up high because they feel this

We are one, we are strong

The more you hold us down, the more we press on

[Verse 4]

What if you did?

What if you lied?

What if I avenge?

What if eye for an eye?

[Verse 5]

I know I can't hold my hate inside my mind

Because what consumes your thoughts controls your life

So I'll just ask a question, a lonely, simple question

I'll just ask one question

[Verse 6]

What if, what if, what if, what if, what if I?

What if, what if, what if, what if, what if I?

What if, what if, what if, what if, what if I?

What if, what if, what if, what if, what if I?

[Verse 7]

What if you did?

What if you lied?

What if I avenge?

What if eye for an eye?

What if your words

Could be judged like a crime?

[Verse 8]

What if, what if, what if, what if, what if I?

What if, what if, what if, what if, what if I?

What if, what if, what if, what if, what if I?

What if, what if, what if, what if, what if I?
