Crushed

 

Brothers, my brothers

Is this all that we are

Sisters, my sisters

We’ve been crushed by the fists of god

 

Welcome to the free world

Where nothing’s as it seems

Tell me, can you find a cure

When you can’t see, and you can’t feel the disease

Can you seek a higher truth

When you’re living on your knees

Where freedom grows from blood soaked soil

In the lands of hypocrisy

 

Because if you can’t see the chains tell me what use is a key

It’s cash, blood and oil, in the age of the refugee

They’re trying to buy our minds, we ain’t selling

Bang, bang, bang, hear they’re nailing down the coffins

 

Cut the strings, feel your heart start

Cut the cord, crack this code of silence

All our lives in the hands of tyrants

 

Crushed by the fists of god, crushed

 

We’ve been crushed by the fists of god

 

To the left I see the rats and to the right I see the snakes

In my ear they’re whispering sweet sermons of cruel hate

So do you buy the fear, or do you buy the lies

Tell me, what will set us free

Do we kneel before the crooked few

Or do we bite the fucking hand that feeds

 

When death casts no shadow and hope carries no weight

Rise into the light and feel the shackles fade away

They fear what we know, We know how they break

Bang, bang, bang, drop the hammer of conscience

 

Cut the strings, feel your heart start

Cut the cord, crack this code of silence, all our lives

 

Crushed by the fists of god, crushed

 

We’ve been crushed by the fists of god

 

We’re just waiting for the sky to fall

Yeah I’m just waiting

Feels like all our lives we’ve been waiting for the sky to fall

Feels like all this time we’ve been

 

Brothers, my brothers

Is this all that we are

Sisters, my sisters

We’ve been

 

Crushed by the fists of god

Crushed by the fists of god, crushed
