Lyrics
This is our kingdom
This is our land, it's our home
Being taken away
And you cry about freedom
And what good is being free though
When we all fade to gray
You look to your sky man
But no one's comin' down to your rescue
No one's gonna cry about it for you
I can't breathe, I'm drowning
Even with all the world's tragedies
You're still the one haunting my dreams
In every direction
We're killing our brothers, our people
When we don't have our way
So here is our sequel
If we don't see everyone equal
Then we deserve to decay
Aren't we all human?
Are we really doin' the best that we can?
Haven't we all had about what we can stand?
I can't breathe I'm drowning
Even with all the world's tragedies
You're the one haunting my dreams
All these sheep I'm counting
Won't give me the sleep I need desperately
'Cause you'll be the first thing I see
Are we all slaves to desire
The only thing we create is fire
I need you here, this is dire
Somethin' please take me higher
Wake at four AM to see the clouds are goin' down
The clouds are goin' down
You wait before me now
Wake at four AM to see the clouds are goin' down
The clouds are goin' down
You wait before me now
