about

This should stand as a clear message demanding people take accountability for their own thoughts and beliefs - deciding which are actually so important that they would die for them. Are some of these things really worth someone's life? Is racism that important to your 'personality'? Is blindly following a political ideology so important? Is your faith so important that you want to structure the government around it, yet fail to follow its basic teachings - is this so important? Is enforcing your perception on 'normal' so vital to your existence, that when others don't do it the same, you think they should be punished?

Are these things so essential to your being, that being without them would be equivalent to death.

For real? Fucking grow up.

lyrics

Depreciate differences
Accuse them of moral crimes
cognitive dissonance
Blinding your projections

Is this the hill you die on?
Oppression and hatred will be your bequest
Weak-willed, you are fear's pawn
This is the hill you die on

Constant fear defines your existence
Find your scapegoats, bogeymen
Frame it all to satisfy your lust
Integrity lost, there is no trust

Is this the hill you die on?
Oppression and hatred will be your bequest
Weak-willed, you are fear's pawn
This is the hill you die on

Grab your rope, tie your knot
Draw your blade, self-inflicted cuts
Grab your rope, tie your knot
Cock your gun, aim it at your sons

Is this the hill you die on?
Oppression and hatred will be your bequest
Weak-willed, you are fear's pawn
This is the hill you die on

This is the hill you die on
Oppression and hatred will be put to rest
No shoulder to cry on, you're a bygone
This is the hill you die on
