Divided Kingdom

Nothing but shame for where I'm from
Trying to hide the deception going on
No sense of pride for where I belong
Just a stain on the name, a divided kingdom
A system in place to profit from our failure
To keep us in line, but you label me a traitor
No common goal for the greater good
The walls are falling down on the neighbourhood

Can't play the game that's cheating me
The streets are paved with cold, hard reality
Chains forged by acts of greed
Existing in a state of purgatory

If unity is strength, our backs are broken
Paralysed by the weight of the wicked words that you've spoken
A poison designed to taint our minds
Damned overlords controlling innocent lives
Six million ways to lie with a silver tongue
Masterminding the demise of any objection
It's appalling how we're falling back to being oppressed
Living in a state of fear of their future intent

You sparked the fuse, but you failed to learn
That in the end, we're all going to burn
Scorched the earth, scolded and scorned
Now you'll feel the damages that you've caused
Doomed the people you were meant to protect
Sold your soul to the devil and now he's come to collect
