Saga (SE) - The Nations Fate lyrics

The best are condemned to useless lives When chaos regimes and the merchant thrieves The basest sort then make sport Of those who die with anguished cry Because they told the nation's fate Gods of the rabble are greed and lust Love and honour turned to dust Patriots in cages and liars as sages The tyrants rage in every age Black is white and evil is good And nothing pure is understood Emotions grow cold and the future is sold The senses are sated and the prophets are hated Because they told the nation's fate Gods of the rabble are greed and lust Love and honour turned to dust Patriots in cages and liars as sages The tyrants rage in every age The state and the press and the church are a tool An honest man is labled a fool Every man must abase Every kin and every race Or face the fearsome despots plan To destroy every man The who*es of merchant pave the road to hell Twisting words to weave a spell Master deceivers making believers Misleading men with a cunning pen To hate those who tell the Nations Fate Gods of the rabble are greed and lust Love and honour turned to dust Patriots in cages and liars as sages The tyrants rage in every age
