Unity is a rare thing Blind eyes of society bring The category of minority Now what are we supposed to be? Born free to be Powerless to change the world With our lives in the hands of madmen Now in times when society needs us This is where the sin begins We're aware they're going to free us Rage from our hearts within Born of this world Which is a living hell But we'll be closer to heaven So now, this is the art To shred, its only emotion This is the art To shred, its only emotion Shred! So now, this is the art To shred, its only emotion This is the art To shred, its only emotion This is the art To shred, its only emotion Right!
