Overcome by silence
Surrounded by death
Gave a boy his last rights
Then swallowed his last breath
What do you do
When the devil gives the orders
It’s all about wealth
No longer about the borders
How can you tell him, it was all a sham
He gave his youth to Uncle Sam
Break through the chains
And down come walls
Without our hands
The empire falls
And still the battle rages on (It’s time to fight, fall in line)
I guess you knew it all along (You pull the trigger, you’re doin’ fine)
Nothing left to say (As long as you’ve lost me)
You’ll be the one left fully empty
And still the battle rages on (It’s time to fight, fall in line)
I guess you knew it all along (You pull the trigger, you’re doin’ fine)
Nothing left to say (As long as you’ve lost me)
You’ll be the one left fully empty
You’ll be the one left fully empty
You’ll be the one left fully empty
