Grains of sand

Inthe hourglass turning

Years & ages like smoke in the air

Marking time with bloodshed & battles

Kings & queens that

still handle our lives

From the sands of Egypt

To the towers of New York

A never-ending war for controllong our minds

Once it was the pharaohs

Now it's called Mr.President

Just another empire is controlling our lives

Will it never end?

When a dissident talks

Like the nazarene rebel

Systematically ends on the cross

Whwn the time for a change

By the masses is claimed for

Anti-riot police forces strike in

How many wars,how many dead

How many innocent have to die

How much money,how much oil

How many lives for sale for gold?

How many wars,how many dead

How many lives on sale?

As ages go by technology changes

But the purpose is always the same

Religion,ideas used as exccuses

History unfolds on the shots of guns

When a man dressed in gold

Talks of poverty & freedom

As Peter & Paul died in Rome

When a king in the East

Kills his people with gases

History's best repeats itself
