In the land where dreams were born A shadow looms, a crown of thorn With iron fists and hearts of stone They claim the earth, a throne of bone Waves of silence, echoes of cries Innocence lost beneath the lies A flag of hatred, raised so high While the cries for peace just fade and die Oh, the usurper walks in darkness With blood on their hands, a heartless jest Neighbors tremble, fearing the night In the name of power, they extinguish the light In the land where dreams were born A shadow looms, a crown of thorn With iron fists and hearts of stone They claim the earth, a throne of bone Waves of silence, echoes of cries Innocence lost beneath the lies A flag of hatred, raised so high While the cries for peace just fade and die Oh, the usurper walks in darkness With blood on their hands, a heartless jest Neighbors tremble, fearing the night In the name of power, they extinguish the light Oh, the usurper walks in darkness With blood on their hands, a heartless jest Neighbors tremble, fearing the night In the name of power, they extinguish the light With every step, they march on graves A legacy of hate, a world that braves A thousand voices drown in despair Innocent lives stripped bare, stripped bare Oh, the usurper walks in darkness With blood on their hands, a heartless jest Neighbors tremble, fearing the night In the name of power, they extinguish the light Oh, the usurper walks in darkness With blood on their hands, a heartless jest Neighbors tremble, fearing the night In the name of power, they extinguish the light Oh, the usurper walks in darkness With blood on their hands, a heartless jest Neighbors tremble, fearing the night In the name of power, they extinguish the light When the dawn breaks, will we remember? The ashes of hope in the cold December In the shadows, where innocence fades Let the truth rise from the masquerade
