Songtext von Fallen

Fallen, long fallen are the righteous ones, long gone their high ideals Corrupted are their leaders, feeding the machine, dreaming of yesterday Never will I be someone, frightened by your threats, beaten by your clubs Words are my weapon, conviction is my shield, A new sun rises but bludgeoned are the upright ones No remorse, still in power are the criminals, enforcing vicious claims Wounded and hunted are the deviants, convicted and condemned Never will I be someone, unsettled by my fears, corroded by this greed Words are my weapon, conviction is my shield, A new sun rises but bludgeoned are the upright ones Never will I be someone, poisoned by your lies, betraying this demise But your dominion turned my love to horror, Converted my compassion into my darkest hate We were about to stall this merciless machine, Leading a strong-willed youth out of the shadow of your past Raised in the bombing rain, scarred by an unforgiving war Executed those who sparked the masses, Unrepentant, state-aided violence takes its course Forever will I be the one, draining your blackest tears, Holding your darkest fears Real are my weapons, terror is my yield A dark sun rises and bludgeoned are the upright ones, Forever bludgeoned are the upright ones
