lyrics

Torn - a nation
Condemned - it's your creation
Worn down - by famine
Your death roll grows

Your mind denies, reality
Angel of death in luxury
Your conscience's clear, a sheltered mind
Your world's so bright it makes you blind

Abused - relentless
Kill - your sleeve still white
Spread diseases
Like a pack of rats

Your mind denies, reality
Angel of death in luxury
Your conscience's clear, a sheltered mind
The engines grind

They
They are never
Given a chance
They are born upon the cross
Your arrogance is unbearable

They are never
Given a chance
They are born upon the cross you made
Your arrogance is unbearable

Your mind denies reality
Hypocritic morality
Devote your life, to lethal lies
You talk so much, but say nothing at all

So
Keep in mind
You might find
Yourself outnumbered

So keep in your mind
That in time you'll find
Your lies come crashing down
You will be swept away
You will drown

Your conscience's clear, a sheltered mind
The engines grind

They
They are never
Given a chance
They are born upon the cross
Your arrogance is unbearable

They are never
Given a chance
They are born upon the cross you
made
Your arrogance is unbearable

Without guilt
In plain sight
Taking lives
The castle
You live in
Is paid in blood
