Rest your heels,
Upon the shoulders of the dead.
Conscience clear,
With the gun against their head.
Cowards in the skin of wolfs,
Fearing when the flock will know their name.
Cowards in the skin of wolfs,
Fearing when the flock will call their game.
Force fed fear,
After all much is at stake,
And the serpents you call Peace,
Holds the noose around your neck,
And the tyrants who sell fear,
With the image of a faceless child,
Are the ones who sold you hope,
And the ones who took the life.
Cowards in the skin of wolfs,
Fearing when the flock will know their name,
Cowards in the skin of wolfs,
Fearing when the flock will call their game.
The prey, are hunters in disguise.
The hunters, believe in their own lies.
Shed the blood of the innocent,
To prove your own worth.
We are ghosts,
Without love.
Shed the blood of the innocent,
To prove your own worth.
We are love,
Without Blood.
Cowards in the skin of wolfs,
Fearing when the flock will know their name.
Rest your head and sleep, my friend,
For the leaders do the same.
With the blood on the hands of the unknown man,
While their suits are pressed and cleaned.
Send the flock to the kill.
Send the flock to the kill.
The prey, are hunters in disguise.
The hunters, believe in their own lies.
Shed the blood of the innocent,
To prove your own worth.
We are ghosts.
Without love.
Shed the blood of the innocent,
To prove your own worth.
We are love,
Without Blood.
We are the ghosts of the faceless child,
Spreading the fear from which they hide.
They are the hunters of the muted child,
We are the victims of a world’s demise.
The prey, are hunters in disguise.
The hunters, believe in their own lies.
Shed the blood of the innocent,
To prove your own worth.
We are ghosts,
Without love.
Shed the blood of the innocent,
To prove your own worth.
We are love,
Without Trust.
