They broke our backs against the pavement They ground our teeth down to the bone They hung us high and bled us dry Left to die here, defenceless and alone, in the dark Like a forest fire waiting for a hint of a spark Take up your arms, sharpen your knives They gave their very last chance when they gave our lives away
Words betray us in the native tongues we speak When power corrupts the strong, false hope condemns the weak Break the confines, brace us for the flood Raining from the heavens with the force of seven gods, on us all We were all fixated on ego
All our lives, just a drop in the ocean One more nail in the coffin, straight into the dirt Born to die, it’s the final debt that we pay The stain on your hands that can’t be washed away
A permanent solution, a moral absolution The guilty many, the new disorder The bloody hand leads the lamb to the slaughter I heard them laugh as their eyes rolled back, Raising a glass as their hearts turned black, drowning the guilt Tyrant, how can you stand by their graves? Not all can be saved
A wasted chance to set things straight A change of heart that came too late Out of sight, and out of mind We are the ones you left behind
Can you hear the sound? Piercing the silence, ringing out As we feed the ground
All our lives, just a drop in the ocean One more nail in the coffin, straight into the dirt Born to die, it’s the final debt that we pay The stain on your hands that can’t be washed away
We are the ones you left behindTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
