Collective consciousness

Synapses between us

We pierce the sky with fists

We shroud the Earth in dust

Before powers that be

We’re here to spread the flame

Welcome to the game
Fm                        Db
And after all is said and done
Fm                          Db
Since the moon eclipsed the sun

Can you feel the wrath of truth?
Fm                     Db
Does it burn you like abuse?
