The Hated

From days and times of old kingdoms rise and they fall
There's a bell is tolling, for one, for all
I can hear it in the distance, you know it's bound to ring again
When chaos reigns, we might be near the end
Everywhere I look, adding fuel to the fire
The good old days are gone, flames a getting higher
Confusion and deception, in the night and in the day
Everything's so black and white, there's gotta be a better way

Kingdoms rise, and you know the fall will come
But we're still here, so much left undone
Ununited, who could stand, so many flags a flyin
Yeah, we're still here, so the hated man keeps trying

Light is growing dim, these days are getting darker
They call it progress, have we gone any farther
When everyone for himself is the way a leader rules
No fear of God, makes every man a fool

Kingdoms rise, and you know, the fall will come
But we're still here, so much left undone
Ununited, who could stand, so many flags a flyin
Yeah, we're still here, so the hated man keeps trying

Lines are being drawn by some invisible force
Vying for control, throwing us way off course
The pale horse is riding, oh I wonder where we'll be
When the smoke clears, in the land that once was free

Yes the light is growing dim, these days keep getting darker
They call it progress, we haven't gone any farther
When everyone for himself is the way our leaders rule
No fear of God, makes every man a fool

Kingdoms rise, and you know the fall will come
But we're still here, so much left undone
Ununited, who could stand, so many flags a flyin
Yeah, we're still here, so the hated man keeps trying
