Catches a glance in the glass of a florist
That just about fills his mouth up with vomit
A ghoul resides within and it's a forebear of his homeland
Sees a Luger 'round his waist, silver dagger in his hand
Falls down to the curb and he starts to pound his fists
Against the cobbles and the tarmac as snot falls down to his lips
Cries out for an exorcist, makes crucifix with arms
Feels responsible for suffering, yet he's never answered calls to arms
And on his shoulders is a build up
Of murder and destruction
Yet he would never lift a finger (never lift a finger)
Against another human
And now another, at the water's edge, sees
Jacket, ruffled cuffs from another century
A daemon's breaking out and it's one of his ancestors
He goes pale as a sheet and fixates on the royal crest
Disgusted not the word as all of this was overseen
And approved of without hesitance by a dear, beloved queen
As he burns the flag worn high upon the seas, he bellows
"If there is a God, send a lightning bolt to me!"
And on his shoulders is a build up
Of murder and destruction
Yet he would never lift a finger (never lift a finger)
Against another human
But we must not live plagued with guilt (but we must not live plagued with guilt)
Left by the stains our countries built (left by the stains our countries built)
And learn from what in past was done (and learn from what in past was done, All fathers, daughters, mothers, sons)
All fathers, daughters, mothers, sons (to see that history won't repeat)
To see that history won't repeat (so long as we are on our feet)
So long as we are on our feet (the past is ugly must be said)
The past is ugly must be said (but all of us must look ahead)
But all of us must look ahead (and use our strength and sight instead)
And use our strength and sight instead (for most who partook)
For most who partook, long since dead (long since dead)
They're long since dead!
And on our shoulders is a build up
Of murder and destruction
Yet we would never lift a, never lift a, never lift a
Never lift a, never lift a, never lift a, never lift a (never lift a finger)
And on our shoulders is a build up
Of murder and destruction
Yet he would never lift a finger (never lift a finger)
Against another human!
That just about fills his mouth up with vomit
A ghoul resides within and it's a forebear of his homeland
Sees a Luger 'round his waist, silver dagger in his hand
Falls down to the curb and he starts to pound his fists
Against the cobbles and the tarmac as snot falls down to his lips
Cries out for an exorcist, makes crucifix with arms
Feels responsible for suffering, yet he's never answered calls to arms
And on his shoulders is a build up
Of murder and destruction
Yet he would never lift a finger (never lift a finger)
Against another human
And now another, at the water's edge, sees
Jacket, ruffled cuffs from another century
A daemon's breaking out and it's one of his ancestors
He goes pale as a sheet and fixates on the royal crest
Disgusted not the word as all of this was overseen
And approved of without hesitance by a dear, beloved queen
As he burns the flag worn high upon the seas, he bellows
"If there is a God, send a lightning bolt to me!"
And on his shoulders is a build up
Of murder and destruction
Yet he would never lift a finger (never lift a finger)
Against another human
But we must not live plagued with guilt (but we must not live plagued with guilt)
Left by the stains our countries built (left by the stains our countries built)
And learn from what in past was done (and learn from what in past was done, All fathers, daughters, mothers, sons)
All fathers, daughters, mothers, sons (to see that history won't repeat)
To see that history won't repeat (so long as we are on our feet)
So long as we are on our feet (the past is ugly must be said)
The past is ugly must be said (but all of us must look ahead)
But all of us must look ahead (and use our strength and sight instead)
And use our strength and sight instead (for most who partook)
For most who partook, long since dead (long since dead)
They're long since dead!
And on our shoulders is a build up
Of murder and destruction
Yet we would never lift a, never lift a, never lift a
Never lift a, never lift a, never lift a, never lift a (never lift a finger)
And on our shoulders is a build up
Of murder and destruction
Yet he would never lift a finger (never lift a finger)
Against another human!
