Intro

Where are the ones who carry their guns

 To the far away lands with the blackened suns

 From the smoke and narrow minds

 The half-truth trails and holy lies

 Of an empty heart and overflowing mouth

 A plastic smile and a coward’s frown

Repercussions come around

 When the word named free burns to the ground somehow

-

Where are the deaf and where are the dumb

 From the side of the tracks

Where no reason comes from

 And the tables never bare

 The water runs and mamas always there

 So who separates the world from the start

 Where such words would come and such thoughts would cause

 A shot heard round the world

 Or just as sad never heard at all

-

 So down, down, down like a ball of flames

 To the rotten core filling up with names of hypocrites.

 What a massive list

Don’t exclude yourself from it

 Don’t compromise administration lies

Carried out and covered up with time

Carried out and turned around to shine

 Or high on a pedestal of broken lives

-

 Compassion speaks loud for itself

 Falls on broken ears and off the value shelf

 Into the dirt left to the wind

Comin up strong ready to begin

 To obliterate the word from the start

 Where such ideas come and such ideas cause

 A spark that’ll set a blaze

 And leave the embers red until the end of days

-

 So down, down, down like a ball of flames

 To the rotten core filling up with names of hypocrites.

 What a massive list

Don’t exclude yourself from it

 Don’t compromise administration lies

Carried out and covered up with time

Carried out and turned around to shine

 Or high on a pedestal of broken lives

-

Where are the ones who carry their guns

 To the far away lands with the blackened suns

 From the smoke and narrow minds

 The half-truth trails and holy lies

 Of an empty heart and overflowing mouth

 A plastic smile and a coward’s frown

Repercussions come around

 When the word named free burns to the ground somehow
