Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Somewhere tonight, behind borrowed lies
They pull the trigger, calling murder “right”
Through glowing screens, the war feels far away
No scar is carved on those who scroll and look away

“War is wrong” — the words are thin as air
They freeze and vanish in the city glare
Maybe it’s normal, maybe it’s true
Most of us quit saying, “What can we do?”

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Hands in our pockets, eyes on the ground
We whisper “nothing changes” without a sound
Hope grows tired, faith turns cold
Resignation wrapped in quiet control

[Chorus 1]

Lands of the Unconvicted
Where the “righteous” wear the crown
Deaf to every voice but their own sound
Like same-side magnets, pushing blame around

Unconvicted, irresponsible
They never see the price that’s paid
Their justice built on lives betrayed

[Verse 2]

Some cheer heroes, fists held high
Some hold the dead and ask them why
Tell me now — is this what’s right?
Or just survival dressed as sight?

Lost in the glow of the “chosen” few
They dance all night like nothing’s true
Others stare at a paper king
Praying dawn won’t bring a thing

[Pre-Chorus 2]

With broken backs and beaten hearts
This world keeps tearing souls apart
If this is “right,” then tell me why
It hurts just to stay alive

[Chorus 2]

Lands of the Unconvicted
Oh, “righteous ones,” look at me now
If you’d only kill each other, I’d bow out
But you know that’s not how this goes down

Can a child’s tears quench your thirst?
Is your hollow faith that cursed?

Lands of the Miserable
Drop your lonely, sacred pride
Face the truth you try to hide
Don’t ask, “What should I do today?”
Just feel the lives that fade away

[Bridge]

The night concealed what we denied
Now morning comes, nowhere to hide
The sun drags secrets into light
Exposing every twisted “right”

Will its blaze blind those who claim the truth?
Or push the grieving, broken youth
With brutal warmth, no time to rest
Forcing steps in shattered chests

I don’t ask for miracles to rise
Just let a fragment of hope survive

[Final Chorus]

Lands of the Hopeless
I won’t dress peace in pretty lies
No matter how loud believers cry
The “righteous ones” just pass us by

So please — just look around you now
If everyone you love can smile somehow
That’s enough… let that be true

But if one soul near you breaks and falls
Drowned in tears, crushed by walls
Just reach out — that’s all you do

Lands of the Happiness
If we guard the lives we see
Maybe peace comes quietly
Till chains of kindness end the war

[Outro – Spoken Word (soft, maternal, steady)]

…Maybe
Let’s trust humanity
Just a little more
