Welcome To The Darkness

Welcome to the darkness
Fear will let you in
The root of all exclusion
Who is out and who is in?
Systems of belonging
Lock us in a cage
We fear those who are different
Refuse to see their pain

In the heart of every man
There is a song that love began
Oh love
Oh love

Objectify the human
With anger, fear and shame
Damn them with religion
And never speak their name
Comfort and illusion
Numb us to the pain

We can not see our privilege
So we scapegoat and we blame
In the heart of very man
There is a song that love began
Oh love
Oh love
In the heart of every man
There is a song that love began
Oh love
Oh love

As old as the world is
The struggle is
The world
As long as the world is
The struggle is
As long as the struggle lives
The world
