Lyrics
Many will cry on behalf of our sons
daughters alike, both of which take up guns
dying for others, who yet understand
what it means to have their life in command
so many years with a foot on their neck
rewriting religion to sicken, infect
many more years breaking the chains
allowing these prisoners to rise again
Chorus:
Hearts and Minds, finding the truth
slowly hearts and minds
awaken freedoms rule
How many times can a human be beat
submissions a must, makes the cycle complete
over and over until fear takes it's hold
generations held captive, both young and old
we've seen it before, history will attest
persecution of man and it's wickedness
some say their business is not ours at all
Americas business is freedom for all
Chorus: 2x
No fear of death, no selfish need
will keep us from making this monster bleed
death in time comes to all us men
purity will once live again
How many times can a human be beat
submissions a must, makes the cycle complete
over and over until fear takes it's hold
generations held captive both young and old.
Chorus 2x
