Sightborn - Enemy Maker Lyrics

We need not come to this
With every mark I missed; was I not worth forgiving my flaws?
Now it's you versus me
In your dichotomy made me anathema to your cause
Through narrow sights you set
Defined me as a threat, was all your talk of love just a lie?
Ready to retribute
Proceed to persecute, chose revenge we were meant to deny

Draw the lines; make your move
Like you have anything to prove
Decree you use to divide
Your convictions have a cost

What have you gained for whom you've lost?
And will that loss finally cut through your pride?
Say we were meant for this
Your chose each nemesis, just a blight upon your perfect way
At war with flesh and blood
Dragging each name through mud, no concern for the price they must pay
Will neighbors in contempt
Call these your god's attempts
When this hatred has gone to your head
O Father forgive you
Knowing not what you do, to faith your actions have told me is dead

Draw the lines; make your move
Like you have anything to prove
Decree you use to divide
Your convictions have a cost
What have you gained for whom you've lost?
And will that loss finally cut through your pride?

Desecrated common ground
(Our banners fall)
Deafened our ears by artillery sounds
(Shut my words out so you feel like you're in control)
Will enmity always surround
(Ties unresolved)
Hostage hearts of this hatred we found

Could we return from this?
I thought we'd coexist
That we'd live on and make our amends
And yet you thought it right
To push me out of sight
Made a means to some self-righteous ends

Draw the lines; make your move
Like you have anything to prove
Decree you use to divide
Your convictions have a cost
What have you gained for whom you've lost?
And will that loss finally cut through your pride?
Cut through your pride
