[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
I spoke up to let you know
I spoke up 'cause I truly love my home
Even through we fell from grace
Existential battle's rage
[Chorus]
Far away from God's eyes
For today, I'm the prey
For today, I'm the prey
[Verse 2]
I spoke up for the youth
Justice can't be served without the truth
Even through my life's at stake
Freedom's not an oath you break
[Chorus]
Far away from God's eyes
For today, I'm the prey
For today, I'm the prey
[Verse 3]
I cannot forgive you
For this violence that defines you
Mindless arrogancе display
Karma will be the hand played
[Outro]
For today and arisе
You're the prey
Come what may
You're the prey
Come what may
Go away
Go away
Go away
Go away
