Fallen, Long fallen are the righteous ones
Long gone their high ideals
Corrupted are the leaders
Feeding the machine
Dreaming of yesterday
Never will I be someone
Frightened by your threats
Beaten by your clubs
Words are my weapon
Conviction is my shield
A new sun rises but bludgeoned are the upright ones
No remorse
Still in power are the criminals
Enforcing vicious claims
Wounded and hunted are the deviants
Convicted and condemned
Never will I be someone
Unsettled by my fears
Corroded by this greed
Words are my weapon
Conviction is my shield
A new sun rises but bludgeoned are the upright ones
Never will I be someone
Poisoned by your lies
Betraying this demise
But your dominion turned my love to horror
Converted my compa**ion into my darkest hate
We were about to stall this merciless machine
Leading a strong-willed youth out of the shadow of your past
Raised in the bombing rain
Scarred by an unforgiving war
Executed those who sparked the ma**es
Unrepentant, state-aided violence takes its course
Forever will I be the one
Draining your blackest tears
Holding your darkest fears
Real are my weapons, terror is my yield
A dark sun rises and bludgeoned are the upright ones
Forever bluedgeoned are the upright ones
