Only The People Lyrics
Ban from our homeland.
A statute for our rights at hand.
A privilege for our protection.
Sliced from our peoples arms.
See how long the fight wages on inside our nations heart.
We are better off to fight ourselves.
How long will we see te battering and tragedy?
No more.
Let it stop.
Let's see how long the fight wages on inside.
We are better off fighting this battle ourselves.
How much will we lose before we fall.
Put down your goddamn weapons.
We are slaughtering our own sons.
Each side solid.
Neither will crumble.
Who will lose?
Only the people.
A statute for our rights at hand.
A privilege for our protection.
Sliced from our peoples arms.
See how long the fight wages on inside our nations heart.
We are better off to fight ourselves.
How long will we see te battering and tragedy?
No more.
Let it stop.
Let's see how long the fight wages on inside.
We are better off fighting this battle ourselves.
How much will we lose before we fall.
Put down your goddamn weapons.
We are slaughtering our own sons.
Each side solid.
Neither will crumble.
Who will lose?
Only the people.

I think he's basically saying that we're accomplishing nothing but our own defeat for the sake of a hopeless aim at liberty, that we've already sought, and claimed, and still no one is willing to accept. Futility in the constant attempt of alleviation from friction, but instead creating the reverse effect, and pushing ourselves further from our intentions, losing more than gaining in the process.
Some badass bridges and breakdowns throughout this tune...
Unearth throws me on my ass.
