We should be able to see the results of hate, and minus it from our fate.

We saw the terror of Rome
such horror has got to
hit home
Maybe not in our own
personal vision
but in histories inquisition
all the same in submission

We saw the Jews
get roasted
while the German generals toasted
and an evil empire boasted
On the other end of the world
Japans evil empire hosted
The evils of war
always leaves a terrible scar

We saw the black man
hang from trees
while a racist nation
prayed on their knees
We saw the American Indian
stripped from his land
thousands of soldiers die
in Custers last stand
while generals saluted at
the sound of marching band

We saw the buildings tumble
as thousands of American
lives crumble
on nine-eleven
by Muslim terrorist claiming
to worship their god in heaven
We're now experiencing the
results of hate
our eyes should be
wide open to its fate
Next stop
hells gate
