Who Taught You How to Hate

I hear the voices echoing around me

Angered eyes that don't even know who I am

Looking to kill again (they will kill again)

As the unknown enemies surround me

Wicked laughter resonates inside my head

And i am filled with dread (and adrenaline)

What did I do? Why do I deserve this?

So we're different,

Why do I deserve to die now?

Give me a reason why

Then it all goes a blur

Let instinct take flight

Find my hands on his throat

Yet hear myself say

Tell me now, who taught you how to hate?

'Cause it isn't in your blood

Not a part of what you're made

So let this be understood

Somebody taught you how to hate

When you live this way you become

Dead to everyone

A father's pride, my son walking beside me

I look around and marvel how the children play

In perfect disarray (so innocent)

No judgement, pure exhilaration

Black to white, the colors aren't on their minds

Nothing predefined (all different)

There's always one who plants an evil seed and

Preaches fear to pull you to the other side

Into a world of lies

Everything is unsure when you've lost your sight

Can there still be a cure?

What made you this way?

Tell me now, who taught you how to hate?

'Cause it isn't in your blood

Not a part of what you're made

So let this be understood

Somebody taught you how to hate

When you live this way, you become

Dead to everyone

(you're not anyone)

Oh

Lost all innocence

Infected and arrogant

You burn all your life

(there's no telling you)

No deliverance

Consumed by the pestilence

Of hate, you're denied

Deep in your heart does it still remain?

Do you think you can bring it

Back to life again?

Is it still in your soul?

(no saving you)

Where's the deviant

The unholy revenant

That has made you this way?

Made you fall for this hate

Tell me now, who taught you how to hate?

Because it isn't in your blood

Not a part of what you're made

So let this be understood

Somebody taught you how to hate

When you live this way, you become

(you become)

Tell me now, who taught you how to hate?

'Cause it isn't in your blood

Not a part of what you're made

So let this be understood

Somebody taught you how to hate

When you live this way, you become

(you become)

Dead to everyone

(you're not anyone)
