Eroded Liberty

[Verse 1]
Welcome to the age
Of an American empire
Not a day will pass
When bombs don't seem to fly
Scream about the rights
Of victims and their pain
But your actions are
Where the causes lay

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't like what we have done
We're not the only ones
Before you raise your rage
Look closely at your past:

[Chorus]
Algeria and Vietnam
Africa, the Middle East
English ships and the slave trade
Now, tell me, who's the beast?

[Verse 2]
European leaders
Wringing their own hands
Set aside as powers
In the Holy Land
To Europe, we are
Lacking in sophistication
Are we another little
Shitty country?

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't like what we have done
We're not the only ones
Before you raise your rage
Look closely at your past:

[Chorus]
Southeast Asia and India
Aztec, Mayan, and Incan worlds
Chinese hooked on opium
Sacrificed for the old-world ways

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Belief in their empire
Covers them in cloth
Forget their powers and
Morals, for the part
History shows us
This has always been our harm
When we put up with this
And the UN in charge

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't like what we have done
We're not the only ones
Before you raise your rage
Look closely at your past:

[Chorus]
"America, your enemy"
To heal, your leaders tell
But for your own demands
You need our power, as well
