[Verse 1] Another flag waves over somebody else's grave Another speech painted gold to disguise the blade They call it peace while the fire eats the sky Send the poor to the front while the rich stay dry Television prophets selling fear by the ton Every bomb has a logo and a sponsored gun Hands on the trigger, hands washed clean Same old machine in a brand-new screen [Pre-Chorus] We are not numbers We are not fuel We are not pieces In a ruler's tool [Chorus] No more blood for a throne No more bones for a crown You build your kingdoms on the backs of the drowned No more lies in our name No more wars for your gain We won't march to the beat of your chain [Verse 2] You draft desperation, manufacture consent Turn a child into a target and call it defense Every headline bends when the money speaks Truth disappears for a couple of weeks You sell the future for a quarterly rise Then salute the smoke with patriotic eyes But the streets remember every promise betrayed Every mother left alone, every debt unpaid [Bridge] We see through the smoke We see through the fear The louder you shout The clearer we hear Your towers are paper Your power is thin A million voices Are breaking in [Final Chorus] No more blood for a throne No more bones for a crown You build your kingdoms on the backs of the drowned No more lies in our name No more wars for your gain We won't march to the beat of your chain We won't march We won't kneel We won't trade our lives For your battlefield
