We live in a land of contempt Where respect is exempt Where a belief is held That there is no reason to Rebel
Rebellious fools end up dead As the voices whisper with dread As they are silenced and fed Lies and promises instead
Liars look on with broken ideals As they look at others as inferior beings As they stand so high and mighty Renegades stand against society
Betrayal and deserters they stand for whats right As they are pitted against their own in a fight The liars stand behind their wall Watching as their own people take the fall
Treasonous cowards, disloyal fiends Dishonest fighters, faithless murderers They are made into criminals bound for the gallows Waging horrific war against their own brothers
Corruption hides within cruel asylum Time passes, ignited sparks forgotten Criminals spilled shame, abandoned honor Against the liars of righteousness
On tattered parchment, words between stains Written in a common language, crimson pain Never confessed, the crime of oppression Dying flame flickered, silencing defiance
