Meet the mirror. This is who we are
You can't re-write history, or erase our scars
To admit our transgressions, can be one bitter pill
But the future, it ain't ours to kill
Harkening, harkening back
To an era that we buried in the past
Back when darkness decided destinies
You were less loved before you even breathed
You were left out and locked out of a dream
Harkening, harkening back
Harkening, harkening back
Meet the moment. Let's address the wound
Otherwise it will fester, until we're all consumed
To reflect on our missteps, is a chance for us to learn
Have the lessons been lost, with all the books that you burned?
Harkening, harkening back
To an era that we buried in the past
Back when darkness decided destinies
You were less loved before you even breathed
Don't you see that all these riots in the streets
Are harkening, harkening back
Harkening, harkening back
Harkening, harkening back
Harkening, harkening, harkening, harkening
Harkening, harkening back
