lyrics

The East and West were never really split
A myth the wind calls that
In fearful times the binary lines,
Erected tall to hold you back
There’s telling in the yelling
Slander in a name
So what if you already lost it all 
What matters most is whose skin is in the game
We call this the History of the Wall

Sold a lie, there just two side
For who then do the walls toll
The protocol of Us and Them
If you have to ask you’ll never know
Hold to hope, and see and what will be
Hold a rope and hope for open borders
At one end are the things that you flee
The other into danger, deeper water

Face-to-face with an aggressive gate
A gate is just a door into a Pen
The pen it’s said more savage than the sword
The keeper of the gate is not a friend
A friendly someone who's holding open space
Space is any place you can belong
Being without your back against the wall
Being without being being wrong
