We are left for dead
Lured and baited
They saturate
Old patterns of abuse remain
Caught in a trap
Lured and baited
They manipulate
Archaic methods of control
Stopped in our tracks
Vie to keep life
Might, not a vice
Fight your chokehold
Right this dark world
A shifting grip
Tolerance thins
Strength pays for trespasses and greed
Locked in your traps
A shifting grip
We wring our limbs
Scapegoat for your destructive sins
Held down, we snap
Snared in your traps
We are left for dead
Determination
Teeth and heart of steel
Accept the sacrifice
For freedom from your hate
