The cradle is empty,
the hearth is cold With stories of glory that can't be sold
They took away fathers,
they took away sons
To feed the fire of the iron guns.
A ragged line marching through mud and rain
With hungry bellies and a lifetime of pain
The orchestrators hide
in their marble halls
While innocent children
bleed on the walls.
Weep, oh heavens,
for the blood they spill!
For the wicked crowns and the lords who kill!
They trade our lives
for a throne of lies
While mothers scream under burning skies!
O-o-oh, hear the orphan's cry...
O-o-oh, under a blackened sky!
A little white shoe in the ashes lies
Beneath the weight
of a million sighs
Who started the fire?
Who lit the flame?
While history hides behind power and fame.
Are our lives
worth your pride...?
THEY BLEED US DRY FOR YOUR GREED AND WARS!
WE CURSE THE KINGS AND THEIR CRUEL APPLAWS!
Weep, oh heavens,
for the blood they spill!
For the wicked crowns and the lords who kill!
They trade our lives
for a throne of lies While mothers scream under burning skies!
No
more war...
just the empty cold.
