lyrics

Doom to those judges who issue false decrees
That's when the nation falls
Doom to those politicians who make unfair laws and steal from the poor
That's when the nation falls

King of the nation
Lies to the world
Now everyone doing the same without shame
King of the nation
Speaks of hate
Now hate is virtue, love is vice

Listen, you'll listen
But you won't understand
Look, you'll look
But you will never learn
Cover their ears
Shut their eyes
So that they won't come back to me and be healed

They run to the evil, hurry to shed innocent blood
That's when the nation falls
The way of peace, they don't know, or to be fair with others
That's when the nation falls apart

False prophets
Screaming loud
Now everyone accuses each other without love
False patriots
Speaks of justice
Just spreading rage and fear

Listen, you'll listen
But you won't understand
Look, you'll look
But you will never learn
Cover their ears
Shut their eyes
So that they won't come back to me and be healed

Therefor justice is gone from us
Nor does righteousness overtake us
We look for light, but there is none
We seek for brightness, but we walk in blackness
We grope for the wall like the blind
and we grope as if we had no eyes
We stumble at noonday as at twilight
We are as dead men in a desolate place!

solo

Now good is evil, and evil is good
You put darkness for light and light for darkness
Doom to the people who are wise in their own eyes
They take away justice from the righteous men

Listen, you'll listen
But you won't understand
Look, you'll look
But you will never learn
Cover their ears
Shut their eyes
Till the land is wasted and turn into desert
