Breaking Down the Walls

Breaking Down The Walls
Music: Askeland Lyrics & Melody: Cox

You see it everywhere
We only have ourselves to blame
It’s born into the soul
The scourge of Cain
It takes anger
And frustration
To bring a weak man
The courage to do what’s right
But the strong man
Wears his evil
On a sleeve of hate
Like a religious rite

And I don’t think we’re doin’
The best that we can
It’s still the same old story
Man’s scorn against man

Free your mind
And the heart will follow
Undo the ties that bind
And break the chain
That shackles the innocence
Free your mind
Unto yourself be true
And take a stand of oppression
Against the hardened spirit of the insolent

Breaking’ down the walls
It’s no time to fall
Breaking’ down the walls
It’s time to stand tall

You feel it everywhere
A chill that makes your blood run cold
A look or a whisper
That makes your fears unfold
It’s the madness
And the pain
That makes a good man
Question what’s wrong or right
But the madman
Keeps his bullet
In the chamber
Always ready for the fight

And I don’t think we’re doin’
The best that we can
It’s time to side with the righteous
And take a stand
