Mantra of Morta - Paradox

Save your patriotism
For the souls of
Forgotten wars
Say your prayers
Into the night
For the ones who died
But continue to lose the fight

Learn from the mistakes
Of our past
Or be condemned to relive it
Surely I'm not the only one
Sick of spinning my wheels

It's all so twisted and jaded
Some kind of ass-backwards paradox

The paradox of tolerance
To be intolerant of intolerance

You can't respect an opinion
That is fueled by elitism
Step down from your
Imaginary podium
Equal grounds for those who
Bleed red

Somewhere we lost
our inner child
Wild is the thought
That there was a moment
in our lives
Where hatred was unknown

The only thing we sought
Were friends to build and play
Another human to create with
To deploy our freedoms
That is the whole fucking reason

Caught all for naught
Funny how the ghosts
Now linger and taunt
You can't reason with hatred
For the sake of hatred
There is no progress
For those not willing to learn

So give out the wake up call

The paradox of tolerance
To be intolerant of intolerance
Or be pushed into the safe space
By the tolerant
The race of humans
Is exactly just that
Human

You can't reason with Hatred
For the sake of hatred
There is no progress
For those
NOT
WILLING
TO
LEARN

So give out the wake up call
Reciprocate their reflections
upon them
Let the whole world know
Blind hatred isn't welcome here
Make them feel the terror
Of their own actions
There is love for the hated
Punishment for supremacy

The wrongs can be put right
Before it's too late
