The Day Democracy Died

[Verse]
They sold it off in the cold black night
Signed the checks with fire and blight
Promises echo
They scream and decay
Turned their backs when the light slipped away
[Chorus]
The day democracy died screaming out and cut in two
The chains they forged weigh more than truth
Broken voices but we can't stay still
Rise again burn against the will
[Verse]
They talked of freedom as they built the wall
A carnival mask for the empire's fall
Blood red rivers run in the streets
Debt and greed too hollow to meet
[Chorus]
The day democracy died screaming out and cut in two
The chains they forged weigh more than truth
Broken voices but we can't stay still
Rise again burn against the will
[Bridge]
Flames high shadows sharp and deep
They feast while the world can't sleep
Who will scream who will ignite
Who will stand in the endless night
[Chorus]
The day democracy died screaming out and cut in two
The chains they forged weigh more than truth
Broken voices but we can't stay still
Rise again burn against the will
