A LEVELING SPIRIT
To cleanse wealth and find a new system
Working for the common good
Without stifling excellence
Achievement, the way forward
Progress, creation, success of a nation
Into the throes of revolution
Where blood must be shed
What other option is available
When there's no hope left?
The pain of striking down your own brother
I would hope never to face
But there is a world where sometimes it is inevitable
And that world is occupied by the human race
See fires burning in the distance?
See fires, burning? It's your home
To level spirits like history did before
To breed dissent and pave a road to war
Give men no choice and a leader will arise
To challenge pride and forge a cause to fight
Can you stand in judgement and plead innocence?
Do you trust the virtue of your own?
A monumental certainty that this path is righteous
Or does this give us a window into hell?
Be careful not to back yourself into a corner
Words only go so far to save you from the mob
There will be no pity when you're up against the wall
To level spirits like history did before
To breed dissent and pave a road to war
Leveling spirit, a truth be told
This spirit is burning, it's dying to be free
To cleanse wealth and find a new system
Working for the common good
Without stifling excellence
Achievement, the way forward
Progress, creation, success of a nation
Into the throes of revolution
Where blood must be shed
What other option is available
When there's no hope left?
The pain of striking down your own brother
I would hope never to face
But there is a world where sometimes it is inevitable
And that world is occupied by the human race
See fires burning in the distance?
See fires, burning? It's your home
To level spirits like history did before
To breed dissent and pave a road to war
Give men no choice and a leader will arise
To challenge pride and forge a cause to fight
Can you stand in judgement and plead innocence?
Do you trust the virtue of your own?

Leveling spirit, a truth be told
This spirit is burning, it's dying to be free
