We Are

We Are

Verse 1

Got no time to waste

This world we inhabit must be shaped into our image

The image of excellence and strength

Our purpose is to influence every creature and object

To ultimately rule over them

This is who we've been destined to become

Since the days of ice and fire

Verse 2

All forms of illusions and deception

Are at the core of who we are

The various masks which are worn

Distort our nature and intentions

If it weren't for secrets and lies

We would have been exposed a long time ago

Relating to our causes, to our ways of life

Is essential to our advancement 

Verse 3

Without much sympathies in our dealings

What has been carved out was predetermined

You can't get more of what you want

Be grateful for all that has been given to you

Struggling to attain luxuries

While necessities are poorly managed

And are in minor supply

Reaching for the stars and skies

Is difficult when your hands are tied or cut off

It's an exquisite symphony when your prayers remain unanswered

Bridge

Hearts and minds are what we've desired them to be

When things are up for grabs

We must be quick and territorial

Claiming what is found

Makes us the owners of treasures

Chorus 1

We are what you've been taught to fear

We're the space between the light and the darkness

We are the sights and sounds which captivate your senses

We're the holders of time and the hunters of gardens

Chorus 2

We are the central force you encounter

We're the shakers of lands and risers of the seas

We are the generators of trade and ideas

We're the chains to which you wish to break

Chorus 3

We are what you should cherish and adore

We're the visible part of confusion and clarity

We are the ones to instill and perpetuate greatness

We're imbued with unlimited and significant privileges

Chorus 4

We are you and you are us

We're not surrendering our possessions and doctrines

We are integral to your existences

Both real and imagined

We're the beginning of ages

And the proprietors of justice

We are the ways and means

To making the most of the here and now

We are consuming all types of skin and blood

We're mastering the art of behaviour and the possible

We are everything and everything is us
