  • An iron fist in a velvet glove
    Another vulture posing as a dove
    So you have no shame? Look at what you've become
    You are the reason we are bitter and then some
    Bitter and then some

    They sing of saviors, we sing of sorrow
    But we're still holding on for dear life

    You sold us all down the river
    I hope you choke on the vows that you failed to deliver
    You said you'd change the world, but death still flies east
    The blind lead the blind, so we bomb for peace

    Gravedigger (gravedigger) there's blood on your hands
    You built this empire on salt and sand
    Not all is fair in love and war
    History repeats, we've seen this all before
    We've given the vampires the keys to the blood bank

    They say the more things change, the more they stay the same
    While the liars leech, the crooked preach
    So lie through your teeth, lie like you mean it
    It beggars belief, do you really think that we still fucking believe it?
    You fucking parasite
    There's no room in here for an honest man
    Only callous and cold hearts

    Gravedigger (gravedigger), there's blood on your hands
    You built this empire on salt and sand
    Not all is fair in love and war
    History repeats, we've seen it all before

    Oppressor, you built this empire on salt and sand
    Oppressor, you built this empire on salt and sand

    An iron fist in a velvet glove
    Another vulture posing as a dove
    Do you have no shame? Look at what you've become
    You are the reason we are bitter and then some
    Bitter and then some

    They sing of saviors, we sing of sorrow
    But we're still holding on for dear life Writer/s: ALEX ANTHONY DEAN, DANIEL JOSEPH SEARLE, SAMUEL DAVID CARTER, THOMAS DUNCAN SEARLE
