I'm getting drowned by these pictures of pain

I've seen it all before

A broken country in ruin and flames

I can't stand anymore

The poor in famine and the capital blooms

Get lost in a rage

The puppet master has slaughtered the lamb

We need to break this cage

Refrain:

Burn down the flag

And start the blaze

Tear down these walls

And leave this maze

The blood of man for the wealth of the few

The fool on the hill

A war for water when the desert is dry

We still vote for the kill

A rock in my pocket and a torch in my hand

No more running away

The anger sets free the Fire in Fear

A legion by the day

Refrain: 

Burn down the flag

Unleash the flame

Start a great fire

And never be tamed

The poor in famine and the capital blooms

The fool on the hill

The blood of man for the wealth of a few

No more running away 

The puppet master has slaughtered the lamb

We need to break the cage

A rock in my pocket and a torch in my hand

Get lost in a rage

Refrain:

Burn down the flag

And start the blaze

Tear down these walls

And leave this maze
