Death Of a Dream lyrics

You, you feel, that I Should give you what is mine Take from my family Take from when I die These, these hands, so scarred Work the soil 'til now I'm gone Pay for protection Taxed to death and again Oh ‒ death of a dream Boots, you hear, marching Take you off in the night Take your will and you rights No one can claim it's right Laws, they will no kneel Abuse them as they feel Power, they crave and they take Ignorants, bound in chains Oh ‒ death of a dream Death of a dream ‒ when the light is gone inside Death of a dream ‒ rights of kings denied Death of a dream ‒ when a lie is not a lie Death of a dream ‒ liberty has died My mind's no longer my own Persecuted for my thoughts Motives hidden They've got no interest in me Dreams, they are grounding out Like a flame that's been snuffed out Desire's been crushed Give me faith to believe Oh ‒ death of a dream
