We insist to tear

Verse 1:
Broken, I lay silenced and wondering how love has past me by.

Cause I am burning in these holocausts that singe my wings of flight.

400 years enslaved will the captors ever be set free?

Anguish replaces love as dust becomes the heart in me.

Chorus:
We insist to tear our race apart

Have we lost our minds?

Humans are our own kind

Humans are our own kind
               <repeat>

Verse2:
Politics and money fuel this technological torture machine.

Chambers lacking oxygen suffocate the lives of those who breathe.

This iron fist constricts my lungs, as now I dance cause life has let me die.  

If dancing’s all we do not to hurt another, ill dance with arms raised towards the sky.

Chorus:
We insist to tear our race apart

Have we lost our minds?

Humans are our own kind

Humans are our own kind
               <repeat>

Bridge:
But He loves us despite all our failures

Yea he views us as innocent handlers

But now if we bind the wings of our kind

We all have a warning

No excuse can we cry

Yeah

Chorus:
I’ll resist to tear my race apart

I’ve not lost my mind

Humans are our own kind

Humans are our own kind
               <repeat>

I’ll resist to tear
I’ll resist to tear
I’ll resist to tear

I do not bear this burden of death

But someday still I will run out of breath

As I am not hunted nor burned in my flight

How do I comprehend this forsakenness of light?

Where was I when they suffocated without?

Where am I now proudly flaunting about?

This complacent lull and evils we speak

Are no match for my Savior who death did beat.

Redemption is here as death gives way

Such sweet release as their souls fly away

A cold and broken hallelujah

As sorrows away do flood

Destinies sour tune has finished

Earthly pain will now diminish

400 years now I’ve been slave to sin

Redemption I feel though, freed from within

My screams and shouts silenced by death

Were heard by my God and eternally I rest.
