Sovereign state denied existence Petty game of politics Who are the victims now? Thirty years or more (it's all over) Now hold your head when all is blue In the face, walk all over turn away Closing off the right to live The right to breathe Count up what you give the world and give back what you take Alone in silence when the walls come down Profit loss guiding eyes away In a mask of self-deceit Remember those who stood their ground Count up what you give the world and give back what you take Alone in silence when the walls come down "Honor those", forget the ones in pain Again the pieces fall Into place, given time The sun will rise and shine Paper burns, leaving nothing but The truth, what it means To bring about the change you say Will make the world a better place Count up what you give the world and give back what you take... Alone in silence when the walls come down
