Free us from our darkest sides;
the part of us I we try to hide,
We feel a burning hate inside
For ones who differ from our side.

When The river of pain would flow,
When our fighing comes to blows,
When our pulse begins to slow
Where then does the anger go?

I try to see another way,
To stand and fight another day,
but this curse of hatred is already laid,
And we begin to regret it day by day.

This piece is sort of about the way our countries are with each other at times with all the war fighting and suspicion its no wonder I;d think of it like this.
