Apathy Cycle - Trigger Warning Lyrics

Surrounded by an atmosphere of fear
The devastation is now much more severe
The innocent are being killed
And if your profile fits the bill
You'll see those flashing lights more than your peers

And now those lights are drawing near

Serve and protect who?
Serve and protect not you

We hire them to protect and serve us all
But many feel it's safer not to call
When danger rears its ugly head
You think of those who wound up dead
Because of prejudice it's their downfall

The time has come to make the call

Serve and protect who?
Serve and protect not you

Cops who care about saving human lives
Will take the time to hear those troubled cries
But far too often in reality
Hatred will corrupt authority
They don't protect you
They don't protect me
They protect themselves
They would cut our throats
And watch us bleed
And now those lights are drawing near

Serve and protect who?
Serve and protect not you

The time has come to break the wall of silence
