I saw a polished mask against the grey s

[VERSE 1] I saw a polished mask against the grey sky Catching the tear in a tyrant’s eye He’s not a conqueror, just a painted ghost Standing lost in the fields we needed most We spun the compass till the needle snapped Choking on the greed where the spirit’s trapped Walking blind through the barricades we made Into the misery of a silence… unpaid [PRE-CHORUS] Locked inside the speed, slaves to the want Ignoring the need, while the signals haunt [CHORUS] But we are not machines, we are men Don’t let them turn you back into cattle again You hold the love of humanity in your hand The Kingdom is yours, and it covers the land Yeah, it covers the land [VERSE 2] They treat you like fodder, they drill and they starve But you hold the light that their bayonets carve Only the unloved feed on the hate Only the unnatural bow to the state So fight for the reason, the truth, and the dawn Before the last promise of freedom is gone Cleverness turned us cold and unkind Leaving the gentle hearts far behind [CHORUS] ‘Cause we are not machines, we are men Don’t let them turn you back into cattle again You hold the love of humanity in your hand The Kingdom is yours, and it covers the land (Break the chains, let the spirit unbend) [BRIDGE] (Soldiers…) Don’t give yourselves to the brutes in command Don’t let them crush what they can’t understand This is the power to create and to build A life of beauty that can be fulfilled (Unite… in the name of the light) (Banish the darkness… end the endless night) [OUTRO] The hate will pass
