  • Judge me for what I am
    The passage of death
    You don't play, you don't win
    You change nothing
    You gain nothing
    Everybody's out from here on in

    Heed my words hear me calling
    (Citizens watch, they're stealing our freedom)
    Promises left to die, and long forgotten
    (The government's lost, tantamount to treason)
    Tedious the way we fall in
    (Avenging the cause, a rebel with reason)
    Fallen lines, yet war keeps calling more home
    (I've been forsaken, for I am a patriot)

    Judge me for what I am
    The passage of death
    You don't play, you don't win
    You change nothing
    You gain nothing
    Everybody's out from here on in

    Need my trust, to tie the blindfold
    (Bled for my nation, saluted the flag)
    Seeds of hate, beneath numbered tombstones crowding more
    (Pledge my allegiance in ruins and rags)
    Heed my words hear me calling
    (Bled for my nation saluted the flag)
    Promises left to die, and long forgotten
    (Pledge my allegiance in ruins and rags)

    Out of my mind so easily
    I've left behind so many dreams

    Judge me for what I am
    The passage of death
    You don't play, you don't win
    You change nothing
    You gain nothing
    Everybody's out from here on in

    Heed my words, hear me calling
    (Citizens watch they're stealing our freedom
    Promises left to die, and long forgotten
    (The government's lost, tantamount to treason)
    Tedious the way we fall in
    (Avenging the cause, a rebel with reason)
    Fallen lines, as war keeps calling more home
    (I've been forsaken, for I am a patriot)

    Out of my mind so easily
    I've left behind so many dreams
    Spiritual blindness poisons me
    Not living on, living on my knees

    Out of my mind so easily
    I've left behind so many dreams
    Spiritual blindness poisons me
    Not living on or dying on my knees Writer/s: Jason J. Popson, Jeff Hetrick, Ryan Farrell, Steve Felton, Tomas Eughene Church, Waylon R. Reavis
