[Verse 1]
Don't think, don't speak, watch out
Don't blink, dissent is a cry for the dead
Chin up, back straight, don't ask, just hate
The serpent's alive, you are all crucified
[Chorus]
Tear down the walls again
And all that remains
[Verse 2]
He'll see your good deeds and raise you two rights
He'll lose it all just to stay in the fight
And if you're still blind, sing praise from your knees
His heel in your back from once where you stood free
[Chorus]
Building your walls again
And all that remains
[Post-Chorus]
Broken, broken
Leave the lies
No use in defending
Shattered, fragile to the core
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
So hail, hail to deathmocracy
Hell for your thought crimes, hail to your piety
Oh, the irony, the antidote is the disease
The balancing of ignorance and atrophy
[Chorus]
Tear down the walls again
It's more of the same
[Post-Chorus]
Broken, broken
Leave the lies
No use in defending
Shattered, fragile to the core
