Republic Songtext

von London After Midnight

You’re being used
You’re being lied to
In a desert without water
You are desperate to believe
You’re like a lamb led to the slaughter
Self deceive
You won’t believe
You’re like a child seeking mother
You need guidance
You see violence
As a way to control others

Do you think that ignorance sets you free?
Has slavery made you all you can be?
Is cruelty your new authority?
Do you think your lies are convincing me?

I don’t care if you hurt
I don’t care if you’re blind
If it’s too late to convince you
Then I don’t care if you die

You’re in the dark
You’re in the depths
You’re in an ocean of disease
You’ve lost control
To those who know life as pain and lust and greed
And in the end
Can you defend the things you say that you despise?
Can you see the cold and naked truth
That’s there before your eyes?

Do you think that ignorance sets you free?
Has slavery made you all you can be?
Is cruelty your new authority?
Do you think your lies are convincing me?

I don’t care if you hurt
I don’t care if you’re blind
If it’s too late to convince you
Then I don’t care if you die

Can’t you see you’ll never be free?

I don’t care if you hurt
I don’t care if you’re blind
If it’s too late to convince you
Then I don’t care if you die

So die
