Lyrics
There was a time when you were wise
More than a plasticine figurine
Frankensteinian figurehead for those still playing broken telephone
I hope you see it's you they own
Guess what I found when I was tried
For all the wrongs they just had to right
Some don't make it very far from those still playing with their stones
Blooded hands build bloody thrones
You are a thousand wishes
A thousand sighs
A thousand ways to read a lie
You are a thousand egos
Fed with greed and gold
You are the silencer and the gun they hold
Thou shalt not kill
Do you hear the silence
Thou shalt not kill
Do you hear the silence
Thou shalt not kill
Do you hear the silence
Breaking
The horror lives and it is well
The ravage of a second will
Birth a trauma
