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
[Chorus:]
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
[Chorus:]
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
Oh death of a dream 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 [Chorus:] 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 [Chorus:] 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 Explain Request ×
