lyrics

They will never wake up from their gloom
Propaganda told them they are doomed
You can try, you can try, but they won’t fight

The dogs raised an empire on a lie
It will burn down when the truth’s on fire
We must try, we must try, but the beast will bite
Don’t run away from the fight
Don’t run away, hold the line

Far too many drugs to kill mistakes
Fed to the thousands in a craze
When they die, when they die, tell another lie
Don’t run away from the fight
Don’t run away, hold the line

And yet, the weak are killed, are crushed
Assumptions have brought us this
But still the world spins around
And truth will find a way through the row

They will never take away what we have learned, the price we’ve paid
They will see that this will be their last mistake
