Simple but so cruel
Like caging an eagle
The lessons still unlearned
And blood ties unspoken
The poison they're preaching
Can't stop your reaching For answers, a way through
When your dreams betray you Digging our trenches where the blood and bones
Will splinter and spill
Every resistance will be overthrown Let none survive our brave solution Open the ground and swallow us whole
No-one is innocent
Chase all the children from this mortal coil
No-one is innocent Sacred and bleeding
Drown out the screaming
Hollow the feeling
Destruction careening
Nurtured in silence
Devotion so violent
Abandoned all reason
To prosper in treason Open the ground and swallow us whole
No-one is innocent
Chase all the children from this mortal coil
No-one is innocent
Pride of the mighty comes with a fall
No-one is innocent
Until every heathen head's on a pole
No-one is innocent You say it's unspeakable
But we say it's magical
You call it tragedy
When it's merely destiny
The victors write history It's been a hell of a ride
Too bad you were on the wrong side Now enjoy as the lights go out
Let your d**h leave no more doubt
