The Race

The Race - Arch Enemy (大敵樂隊)

Written by：Michael Amott/Daniel Erlandsson/Alissa White-Gluz

I heard there was a race

Where we're all one race

Color gender age never could dictate

I saw there was a time

When we valued all life

Nobody oppressed everyone had rights

Suddenly in an age where the distance between us is binary

All we see is an internal war friendly fire in the sky

And respect on the floor

Constricting like a heart attack

A mythomaniac on the loose in the streets

Blood boiling with the burning heat

Of caustic defeat now there's no turning back

Ha so we laugh while the tides all turn

Maiting grey matter voluntarily slaves

Always searching for the one real truth

So we can misconstrue it to sun our needs

Constricting like a heart attack

A mythomaniac on the loose in the streets

Blood boiling with the burning heat

Of caustic defeat now there's no turning back

Ingesting operant conditioning

Divine contamination like lye on flesh

It stings

Trust your leaders trust the system reproduce repeat

Never question authority never suspect deceit

Always on the run

Can't remember where we're running to

Or what we're running from

But we're picking up speed

All the books and broadcast

Jettison

Without their burden true ethics are freed

Extract the labels that lobotomize

And you'll realize we are all one

Fly or swim fur or skin

We're alive

Abolitionists rise

Constricting like a heart attack

A mythomaniac on the loose in the streets

Blood boiling with the burning heat

Of caustic defeat now don't go turning back
