A glance at a war and the nation goes mad
The foundations disperse when the leaders can't see
And all you hear is screams from darkness when the monsters rape the silence
They forge all you love into a shape unseen
Vanish back to the night like they never were here
A revenge for pain past years have seen and this elegy goes on and on
A boy hides in fear of the unceasing nightmares
He hopes that someday they'll end, for hope can turn this world
A coin flies through the air to tell you to live or die
You're sentenced by a man whose orders come from god
Time slows down as the final verdict falls
Draw your last breath as the man you thought you are
Thought you are!
They've cut my flesh, they've broken my spirit, the scars they left are high as the sky
The delicate weavings of my soul, my bond to this world, are stomped to the mold
Torn the skin and shattered the bones then rebuild to serve as a tool of war
Grievous wounds leave my precious, pristine lifeblood spilled on the ground
So I begged his gods, I prayed for their grace, for what is honor worth when it's time to die?
"Now go and tell all the world, tell them your tale, make them fear and ask..."
Man straightens his back, grown in cruelty
The tears exchanged to hate, to hate that will control this world
A coin flies through the air to tell you to live or die
You're sentenced by a man whose orders come from god
Now go and tell all the world, tell them your tale
Go, make them fear and ask
"What will you do when your world will turn no more?"
