They dwell in a palace of ivory and gold
|
In beauty and comfort, a fortune untolled
|
Yet, out in the courtyard injustice prevails
|
They've turned their backs on what Lordship entails
|
|
They squander their riches on oceans of wine
|
The masses are starving while ministers dine
|
The Bringers of Sorrow, the Masters of Pain
|
Rise up in anger, let sweet vengeance reign!
|
|
Tear down the walls - tear down the walls
|
|
A code of corruption, a throne of despair
|
A common affliction the townspeople share
|
Depriving the hungry and robbing the poor
|
Slaves to a system they loathe and deplore
|
|
A bounty of torment, abuse of command
|
The wicked are crippling this misgoverned land
|
The innocent perish, the cruel remain
|
Take up your sabres, let sweet vengeance reign!
|
|
Tear down the walls - tear down the walls
|
Tear down the walls - tear 'em down!
|
|
The peasants are storming this palace of gold
|
By evil repressors, no longer controlled
|
The banner of justice unfurled overhead
|
The victors rejoicing, the conquered lie dead
|
|
Yet few of them know what the future will bring
|
Another unjust and unmerciful King
|
The nature of Monarchs is always the same
|
Soon time will come to let sweet vengeance reign!
|
|
Tear down the walls...
