Count the Dead Lyrics


Broken dreams, broken hope

The world is on the edge

The eve of conflict, dawn of war

Misery the pledge

Politics of madmen

leading to catastrophe

Democracy on its knees,

fascist brutality

See them marching, see them walk

Hear them shouting, hear them talk

See them dominate the streets

When history repeats

Condemned to watch on our TV screens

Powerless, ruled by machines

Propaganda, mind control, beaten down,

left to crawl

Insanity electеd by the people bеing fooled

Civil rights and common sense disposed and overruled

When streets become the battlefields and cities start to burn

It's time to take some action and to make the tables turn

Violence, regicide

Last resort, bona fide

When the voice of protest dies unheard

Tears of anger, vision blurred

Vicious cycle, planting hate

No turning back, it's too late

Escalation, firing shots

Placing votes from the rooftops

Insanity elected by the people being fooled

Civil rights and common sense disposed and overruled

Reign of terror, money, greed

Exploitation beyond the need

Civil unrest, knell of war

Uncertain outcome, death for sure

Minorities, weak oppressed

Law enforcement on their chest

Overpower, clash of classes

It's the few against the masses

See the fires burning in the streets

Society severely bleeds

Cancer of injustice grows

Lack of prospects, overdose

Watch from distance in the news

Malice raging on the loose

Blazing flames, the night turns red

Pile up the bodies, count the dead
