Lyrics
Chorus
Blind eyes turn as the world burns
He sits on the throne, heart made of stone
Divide the lines, draw them tight
All we lose disappears from sight
Post-Chorus
Oh oh, can't you see?
Oh oh, misery
Verse 2
Fakes a smile for the headlines
Shakes a hand, signs a fate
Dropping bombs for the profit grind
But it’s truth that the people hate
Pre-Chorus
Watch the spin, they shout their claims
Left and right, but it feels the same
It’s the poor who hold the blame
While the powerful play their game
Chorus
Blind eyes turn as the world burns
He sits on the throne, heart made of stone
Divide the lines, draw them tight
All we lose disappears from sight
Post-Chorus
Oh oh, can't you see?
Oh oh, misery
Bridge
We're yelling out but he covers our mouths
Stacking up the bodies as the world shouts
Promises rust in the rubble and dust
Who do we trust when there’s no one to trust?
Verse 3
People break under crooked deals
Chasing hope that he always steals
Boardroom laughter, another attack
Count the victims, never look back
Pre-Chorus
Watch the spin, they shout their claims
Left and right, but it feels the same
It’s the poor who hold the blame
While the powerful play their game
Chorus
Blind eyes turn as the world burns
He sits on the throne, heart made of stone
Divide the lines, draw them tight
All we lose disappears from sight
Post-Chorus
Oh oh, can't you see?
Oh oh, misery
Outro
Sirens ring but the screen stays bright
Names reduced to numbers every night
Marching orders written in disguise
Another promise faded, another truth denied
Shadows gather while we look away
No one hears when the powerless pray
Still we’re shouting through the static lies
Hoping someday the silence dies
Post-Chorus
Oh oh, can’t you see?
Oh oh, misery
