crushed

Singer: parkway drive

brothers

my brothers. is this all that we are

sisters

my sisters. we've been crushed by the fists of god

welcome to the free world

where nothing's as it seems

tell me

can you find a cure

when you can't see

and you can't feel the disease

can you seek a higher truth

when you're living on your knees

where freedom grows from blood soaked soil

in the lands of hypocrisy

because if you can't see the chains tell me what use is a key

it's cash

blood and oil

in the age of the refugee

they're trying to buy our minds

we ain't selling

bang

bang

bang

hear they're nailing down the coffins

cut the strings

feel your heart start

cut the cord

crack this code of silence

all our lives in the hands of tyrants

crushed by the fists of god. crushed

crushed by the fists of god. crushed

we've been crushed by the fists of god

we've been crushed by the fists of god

to the left i see the rats and to the right i see the snakes

in my ear they're whispering sweet sermons of cruel hate

so do you buy the fear

or do you buy the lies

tell me

what will set us free

do we kneel before the crooked few

or do we bite the fucking hand that feeds

when death casts no shadow and hope carries no weight

rise into the light and feel the shackles fade away

they fear what we know

we know how they break

bang

bang

bang

drop the hammer of conscience

cut the strings

feel your heart start

cut the cord. crack this code of silence. all our lives

crushed by the fists of god. crushed

crushed by the fists of god. crushed

we've been crushed by the fists of god

we've been crushed by the fists of god

we're just waiting for the sky to fall

yeah i'm just waiting

feels like all our lives we've been waiting for the sky to fall

feels like all this time we've been

brothers

my brothers

is this all that we are

sisters

my sisters

we've been

crushed by the fists of god

crushed by the fists of god. crushed
