Night Of The Long Knives Lyrics

Arusha Accord Night Of The Long Knives

THIS IS THE END AS WE KNOW IT
THERE’S NO HOPE FOR YOU AND ALL WILL PERISH, TRAPPED BENEATH THE FLAMES
THE ANSWER’S IN THE SKY BUT WHO’S THE ONE TO BLAME?
YOU NEVER STOPPED IT, NOW IT’S ALL TOO LATE
WE ARE THE ONES TO BLAME
WHY DO YOU LOOK SO SHOCKED? IT SEEMS IT IS OUR DESTINY TO FAIL
ALL LAY LIFELESS
YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE SAFE IN YOUR HOUSES,
YOU THOUGHT IT COULD GO ON IGNORED
ALL LAY LIFELESS
WHO SAID POWER WAS A PRIZE?
IT’S JUST A BURDEN FOR MOST MEN IN DISGUISE
DROWNED IN SHADOW
IF ONLY YOU’D FACE THE FACTS
IN THE SHADOW OF DESTRUCTION,
CORPORATION DAMNED ALL NATIONS
NOW WE STAND ON EVEN GROUND,
HOW WILL YOU LIVE THIS DOWN?
YOU TURNED YOUR BACK ON A RIGHTEOUS DESTINY, WHAT DO YOU SEEK?
MAY ALL YOUR ROADS SUCCUMB TO TRAGEDY, A TRAVESTY
NO GRACE, NO GLORY
THERE’S NO HOPE FOR YOU
NOW THAT YOU LOOK TO THE STARS
THERE’S NO HOPE FOR YOU
THERE WILL BE NO RESCUE
WE’VE BEEN LIVING A LIE, I’VE BEEN LIVING A LIE
IF YOU BELIEVE WHAT YOU ARE FED, OBESE WITH DECEIT YOU WILL TREAD AND ASK YOURSELF;
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO STOP THIS?
THEY FEED ON FEAR, THEY’RE RICH BEYOND YOUR DREAMS
THE ENVELOPE HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN A CHOKING CLOUD OF SPIN
YOU GAVE THEM POWER, YOU GAVE THEM YOUR TRUST
THEY GAVE NOTHING BACK
THERE WILL BE NO JUSTICE UNTIL YOU SEE THEIR DEMISE
THEIR FACADE IS BROKEN, NOW IS THE TIME AND I WILL TRY EVEN IF WE FAIL
WE’LL GO DOWN FIGHTING
WE WILL NOT LIVE TO LEAD A LIE
A MILLION TIMES I’VE BEEN PUNISHED FOR THEIR CRIMES
WE MUST RETRIEVE WHAT IS OURS AND WE MUST RESIST
WE MUST RECLAIM ALL THE THINGS WE’VE LOST
ALL THE THINGS FORGOTTEN
ALL THE THINGS WE’VE LOST
ALL THE THINGS THAT WE ARE OWED
ALL THE THINGS WE LOST
ALL THE THINGS THAT SEEM DEAD TO EVERYONE
ALL THE THINGS THAT WE LONG FOR.
