Gary Holt - Changing of the Guard lyrics

Rumanian dictator, emperor for life Lived a life of luxury shared only by his wife Growing fat like pigs, eating meals fit for a king Accumulating a**ets like none you've ever seen Now the table's turned, they were stripped of all they owned The revolution's cast the dictator from the throne With their execution, so ends the tyranny Two bullets from a rifle set the people free Fighting for their rights They toppled the regime Pillage all their riches Left them not a thing Now they know the feeling To reap the seeds they've sewn Banished from the living When they were overthrown How did they feed the enormous greed It took to satisfy their needs? They drained the country dry As thousands had to die But now the monarchy is nullfied! The changing of the guard They no longer deal the cards The world demands democracy It's the dawning of a time When the system's redefined Oppression's now a distant memory Communism yields to the might the people wield For a democratic form of government For their blatant disregard They have suffered long and hard It's time for a changing of the guard! No longer will they rule the land by genocide The traces of their empire have all been liquefied Political reform has gotten underway Now they're free to speak, before they'd only pray Freedom is contagious, it's spreading far and wide The Berlin Wall has fallen, there's no need to divide They walk across a border where many tried and failed Others died but not in vain, the people have prevailed Fighting for their rights They toppled the regime Pillaged all their riches Left them not o thing Now they know the feeling To reap the seeds they've sewn Banished from the living When they were overthrown How did they feed the enormous greed It took to satisfy their needs? They drained the country dry As thousands had to die But now the monarchy is nullified!
