[Verse 1] We carved our names into the stone, With banners raised and hearts of stone. Truth turned to slogan, grace to flame, We drew the lines, then cursed the blame. We wear our creeds like sharpened knives, Preach peace while setting fire to lives. The cross, the crown, the flag, the gun— Each one a war, and we’ve just begun. [Pre-Chorus] And every tribe thinks God is theirs, But God’s not fooled by all our prayers. [Chorus] These dividing lines, they run so deep, From ancient hate we swore to keep. We kill, we steal, we justify— Then raise our hands and wonder why. But all this blood, it stains us all, And every rise precedes a fall. Oh, brother, sister, can't you see? We were never meant to be enemies. [Verse 2] We crucify with poisoned words, Twist scripture into sharpened swords. Left and right, black and white, Blind in our own sense of right. But underneath this skin and pride, We share the ache we try to hide. Dust to dust, we’re all the same— Bound by love or bound by shame. [Pre-Chorus] We build our towers to the skies, But can't look strangers in the eyes. [Chorus] These dividing lines, they run so deep, From ancient hate we swore to keep. We kill, we steal, we justify— Then raise our hands and wonder why. But all this blood, it stains us all, And every rise precedes a fall. Oh, brother, sister, can't you see? We were never meant to be enemies. [Bridge] Forgive us, Lord, we’ve made You small— A mascot in our holy brawl. But love was nailed to break the wall, And mercy still can cover all. [Breakdown – Spoken or Soft-Sung] We are dust, we are breath, We are hope, we are death. We are Cain, we are Abel, We are Judas at the table. [Final Chorus – Swell and Soar] These dividing lines, they fade in light, When we choose truth instead of fight. Lay down your sword, your sacred grudge— We’re all the same when seen through love. No flag, no faith, no party line Can save us from our own decline. But maybe grace can still begin Where love unites what hate has pinned. [Outro – Soft, fading] We were never meant to be enemies... We were never meant... [GUITAR SOLO - TECHNICAL WITH LOTS OF BENDS AND ADVANCED CHORD PROGRESSIONS] [Bridge] Forgive us, Lord, we’ve made You small— A mascot in our holy brawl. But love was nailed to break the wall, And mercy still can cover all. [Breakdown – SLOWER SPOKE WITH CLEAN ACOUSTIC GUITAR AND HAND DRUM] We are dust, we are breath, We are hope, we are death. We are Cain, we are Abel, We are Judas at the table. [Final Chorus – Swell and Soar WITH FULL BAND] These dividing lines, they fade in light, When we choose truth instead of fight. Lay down your sword, your sacred grudge— We’re all the same when seen through love. No flag, no faith, no party line Can save us from our own decline. But maybe grace can still begin Where love unites what hate has pinned. [Outro – Soft, fading] We were never meant to be enemies... We were never meant...
