lyrics

VERSE 1

Hear the wind in the trees
See the sky turning gray
Rain keeps falling so heavy
This day

And the world seems so frail
Every move leaves a trail
Like a tear in your flesh
Like a burn

So the heat carries on
And the hurt comes along
All around it is seen
None can stop this machine
So the gears they keep turning
And people keep yearning
For peace, love, concerning
The hope of mankind


CHORUS 1

See all of this pain
Come near
Let me hear
What you say
We can build on a new way
Evil be gone
Come and...


VERSE 2

Join the ride
Can you see
We'll decide
What will be

Now let justice be done
Down a new road we run
Like the shine of the sun
Burns a dream

So the dream comes alive
Every thought seems to drive
Consequences to reach
New intents and they breach
All your morals and teach you
That nothing is sacred
So do what you must
And leave nothing behind


CHORUS 2

Tear everything down
Ready your blade now
And follow this way
To the new day
Our will be done
We will...

Fight the pain
Rid the world of
All this hate
And the suffering that we all know
Now
Bring all you've got for
The final solution to end
All
Evil


VERSE 3

Love
Lust
Hope
Trust

Hear the words and
Raise your hand now
We will go through
Hell and fire
Pain will fuel our
Brave desire

Now we ride
Stand aside

Oh, with bricks made of truth
We will build up this wall
To defend our home
Our Eden will sprawl
And with mortar that's made
From our flesh and our blood
It will bring us to heaven
Oh God is with us


CHORUS 3

Dear to break our law
You will fall in line
Our cause is divine
And your high road
Is hard on your back
The whip it will crack
Now do
As we please


BRIDGE

Oh
Fine
Run
Leave it all
You
Will regret
We
Won't forget
You have betrayed us (now)

Now our state is on the brink
Our people know not what to think
They're answer seeking
Havoc wreaking
Truth can't get out
We protect from confusion
The sceptics' intrusion
Won't stand
No


VERSE 4

People they would feed the fire
With lies and deceit
They see our world rise
Now they spell our defeat
Our new world order
Will never compete

With the wicked heart
Of
Men
Will burn
Lies
Return

Now the streets will run wild
By the gods our child
It lies tattered and pale
Every limb feels so stale
And then people just stand there
Oh how could they be
Just so blind to all that
They have done


CHORUS 4

No
Everything falls

Blind my eyes
I can't look
At this moral decay
What was wrong
Now is right
What a shameful display

And the seeds of corruption
Will spread all around
Until all that is precious
Is dead, hear the sound
Of the final surrender
Your lasting defender
Will take one last breath
Now there'll be only death

At last
Is this not
What you asked
What a shame
Who's to blame
Who's to blame
