Lyrics
Oh it's you who've known That the mercy shown Was granted alone To hide a heart of stone And it's you who take the easy way out Leave us to pray and shout At some god long run out Of our hearts and tongues To kneel and to bow Before some old crown with no actual power Oh, your throne Long since overthrown That crumbling old shrine To a dream long defiled And it's you who still mean to be This enlightenment being Of a wisdom unseen And we'll hold a dream Though the dream may be old And since bought and sold With traitor's gold And it's you with flowers and bread And a spike for your head In ways so wondrous Welcomed in the plunderous With debts and bayonets With flags still wet With the tears and the sweat But it's you who will likely give none When all shall give some And some will give all Just a blind youth With everything to lose But that strange hunger for knife and noose And it's you who when given the chance Will break the tablets at last And away with what's ours While you hold a dream Though the dream may be old And since bought and sold With traitor's gold Toll in the great death Toll in the great death Toll in the great death Toll in the great death Toll in the great death Toll in the great death Toll in the great death
