Count The Dead

Broken dreams, broken hope
The world is on the edge
The eve of conflict, dawn of war
Misery the pledge

Politics of madmen
Leading to catastrophe
Democracy on its knees
Fascist brutality

See them marching, see them walk
Hear them shouting, hear them talk
See them dominate the streets
When history repeats

Condemned to watch on our TV screens
Powerless, ruled by machines
Propaganda, mind control, beaten down
Left to crawl

Insanity electеd by the people bеing fooled
Civil rights and common sense disposed and overruled
When streets become the battlefields and cities start to burn
It's time to take some action and to make the tables turn

Violence, regicide
Last resort, bona fide

When the voice of protest dies unheard
Tears of anger, vision blurred
Vicious cycle, planting hate
No turning back, it's too late

Escalation, firing shots
Placing votes from the rooftops
Insanity elected by the people being fooled
Civil rights and common sense disposed and overruled

Reign of terror, money, greed
Exploitation beyond the need
Civil unrest, knell of war
Uncertain outcome, death for sure

Minorities, weak oppressed
Law enforcement on their chest
Overpower, clash of classes
It's the few against the masses

See the fires burning in the streets
Society severely bleeds
Cancer of injustice grows
Lack of prospects, overdose

Watch from distance in the news
Malice raging on the loose
Blazing flames, the night turns red
Pile up the bodies, count the dead
