about

Issues of identity are at the heart of this song. The song raises questions about how our identities are formed and constructed through a negotiation between our own sense of self and how others perceive us.

lyrics

The rope's tight, let's take a bow
The lights have been switched on now,
It's all so negative, vindictive, all so poisonous.

Forced off cold stony walls
Leaders must always fall,
they've started cleaning out, their own self doubt. They're purging.

I am the heretic
The legacy
I am the murderer

I am the prophecy
The martyr
Of the forgotten cause..

A common cause of disregard
A junkie with no needle marks
Its so pathetic what we're dishing out
What we're shutting down

Scenes from books we've burnt before
Alternate views societal flaws
What happened to this place
Open debates are shutting down

I am the heretic
The legacy
I am the murderer

I am the prophecy
The martyr
Of the forgotten cause..
(We all pick a script we play our roles well. Hiding under masks they cast their dark spells)

Chorus Repeat
