I'm gathering up the remnants
from the wildness of the sin
I open the doors and windows
to let the fresh air in
I guess we dodged a bullet
and the havoc it could bring
now once again I'm joyous
cause of all that this will mean
some were so precocious
with heads buried in the sand
all they knew was hatred
not love for this great land
complacency is vicious
while onward you did rage
allow yourself redemption
let emptiness fill the cage
