COLD DEAD HANDS

INTO THE AGE OF MISINFORMED, CITIZEN SLAVES IN UNIFORM
UNDER THE THUMB OPPRESSING US, BIG BROTHER ALWAYS WATCHING US
LABOR YOUR LIFE UNTIL DEATH, WORK AS YOU TAKE YOUR LAST BREATH
DAY IN DAY OUT YOU TRY TO FIND, JUST HOW TO COPE WITH MAN’S DECLINE
DISTRACTION IS THE TACTIC USED, USHERING FREEDOM OUT THE DOOR
TRY TO DISARM AND OVERRUN, COUNTRYMAN PRIDE IS DOWN THE DRAIN
TOLERANCE GONE WE’VE HAD IT, COMMUNIST LAWS ARE ENFORCED
GET ON YOUR FEET AND FIGHT BACK, ARMED TO THE TEETH THE TIME IS NOW
THESE ARE OUR RIGHTS THAT THEY’RE TAKEN FROM US
TAKEN BY LEADERS THAT WE DON’T EVEN CHOOSE
THESE ARE THE WEAPONS WE WILL USE TO DEFEND US
YOU’LL HAVE TO TAKE THEM FROM OUR COLD DEAD HANDS
STAND YOUR GRAND AND BE THROWN TO THE SLAUGHTER
LOCK AND LOAD CAUSE YOUR FREEDOM IS DEAD
OR SUBMIT TO THE THREAT OF OPPRESSORS
I WOULD GIVE MY LIFE INSTEAD

FAMINE AND WAR A PLAN DEVISED, DEATH AND DESPAIR FOR HUMANKIND
INHALE DISEASE THE PESTILENCE, MURDER THE ONES WITH INNOCENCE
RED IS THE WORLD WITH BLOODSHED, CORPORATE LUST THEIR GREED FED
THERE IS NO HOPE FOR THE LIVES, CAUGHT UNDERNEATH A CRUSHING TIDE
DISARM, CONTROL AND THEN DIVIDE, FORCING OUR HAND CIVILIAN RISE
MAKING A STAND BY ANY MEANS, CONFRONT CORRUPT DEMOCRACY
WE ARE AT WAR TIL NO END, EXPENDING LIFE, WHO PROFITS?
POCKETS ARE LINED BY THE ONES FIGHTING AND DYING FOR EACH OF US
WE HAVE NO CHOICES ANYMORE, OUR FREEDOM TAKEN EVERYDAY
NOW THEY TAKE YOUR WILL AND TEST IT, THE DAY WILL COME WHEN WE WEAR CHAINS
IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE A CHOICE, YOU WILL BE HERDED LIKE SHEEP
