Now all the lies are beginning to show,
|
And you're not the country that I used to know.
|
I loved you once from my head to my toe,
|
But now my belief is shaken.
|
|
And all your ways are so untrue,
|
No one breaks promises the way that you do.
|
You guided me, I trusted you,
|
But now my illusion's shaken.
|
|
Thought this empire would be here
|
At least a thousand years.
|
But all the expectations and aspirations,
|
Slowly disappear.
|
|
Now all the lies have gone on too long,
|
And a million apologies can't right the wrong.
|
Soldiers die but the lies go on,
|
But soon we will awaken.
|
|
In our expectations for the future,
|
We were not to know.
|
We had expectations, now we've reached
|
As far as we can go.
|
|
And all your manners are too, too polite,
|
Just to prove that your conscious is white and bright.
|
You had your day so get ready for the night,
|
For another dawn is breaking.
|
|
We had expectations, now we've reached
|
As far as we can go.
