Bloodletting

Where did this all begin

When will it all end

At a time when we bleed the poor to feed the rich

In this sad sick nation of ingrates

Where we feed our ambition with the decision

To take what we can and desecrate the rest

The bones of our dead become fodder for crows!

Is this what we have left

To burn our cross in disgrace

Is it time to give in?

So slit the throat of our children's hopes

Cause the rich are getting richer

On keeping the poor where they are

So let's find hope in the hopeless

The truth in the lies

And die fighting

Or just sit on the sides!

Is this all we've become

Am I screaming to deaf ears

Is there no turning back?

Is this all we have left

To burn our cross in disgrace

Is it time to give in?

Make me believe

I am nothing

And I might back down

Give me the flame

Start up the fire

And I'll burn this down

Down to the ground!

Is this all we've become

Am I screaming to deaf ears

Is there no turning back

Is this all we have left

To burn our cross in disgrace

It's not time to give in!
