With bombs and ammunition
Silence those with better visions
Replace them with our own
Under crowns and thrones of declaration
Kings and gods destroying our nations
Replace them with their own
Profit reigns, but our throats run dry
We feed the wolves, but ignore the voice inside
We hold a gun to our own head, yet we still point the blame
Never asking why
We march into the darkness of the future
With our heads held high
Refusing to see these visions in our minds eye
Because they say it's alright
The country's warfare
Is always justified
The lying, the sinning
Paints another scene
The starving, the dying
Never get to see the light
The greedy, the scheming
Will always be alright
Profit reigns, but our throats run dry
We feed the wolves, but ignore the voice inside
We hold a gun to our own head, yet we still point the blame
Never asking why
Who made you king to rule our lives?
Aren't we all free?
To live to die
To understand our visions
And build a better world
Or are we blind?
We are all blind
Profits reigned, but our throats stayed dry
We fed the wolves, and we killed the voice inside
We held a gun to our own head, always pointing the blame
Never asking why
Blind with pride, we ignored the signs
We cast the stones, but never looked inside
And in the end we were consumed by our very own game
If only we'd stopped to ask why
