about

In this country, we’ve been taught that money and authority are empowering to a level that is detrimental to our true empowerment as a whole: Love and connectivity. America’s consumerism has always been what has distracted us from being connected and achieving the full potential of true empowerment. If you take a good look at history, it is no different than every empire that has fallen. From Rome to now.

lyrics

A riot is a language of the unheard

The Streets on fire
With the blood of the righteous
Peace never finds us
When they resort to violence
I feel the temperature rising
While the children lack guidance
they’re inflating the prices
It’s such a hostile climate

The power we want
Ain’t The power we preach
The power we seek
Ain’t the power of greed
or The power we need
True power fulfills
True power forgives
You’ll find The power within
Is the power that lives

Money grows on trees
When evil takes root
In the ground below
Turning hearts to stone
Where a seed never grows
What reaped is starting to sow
Minds corrupt with hatred
Are entrapped in the matrix
The world is lacking patrons
Loaves and fishes without a savior
We More doctors and less patients

There’s power in hope
There’s power in soul
There’s power in growth
True power evokes
That’s the power I know
True Power fulfills
True power forgives
You’ll find that the power within
Is the power that lives

Hey!
I know What you’ve been looking for
Something that can fill the void
Life is meant to be enjoyed
Hey!
Though you feel like you’re all alone
Many have been down this road before

Countless have failed in the past
You won’t be the first, and you won’t be the last

As the hour approaches
The serpent encroaches upon the gardens
With dollar bills and exquisite contracts
Destroying the earth to grow stock markets
Martyring prophets increasing their profit
Babylon has become so ungodly
Emptying stomachs to fill to their pockets
Even the Romans couldn’t see Rome Falling

‘Cause the power they seek
Is the power of greed
Ain’t the power that feeds
Or the power that leads
Or the power we need
True power is love
True power is trust
True Power’s enough
True power’s in touch
With all of us

Hey!
I know What you’ve been looking for
Something that can fill the void
Life is meant to be enjoyed
Hey!
Though you feel like your all alone
Many have been down this road before

Hey!
I know What you’ve been looking for
Something that can fill the void
Life is meant to be enjoyed
Hey!
Though you feel like your all alone
Many have been down this road before
