The Old Revolution

I finally broke into the prison
 ♪
 I found my place in the chain
 
 Even damnation is poisoned with rainbow
 
 All the brave young men
 They're waiting now to see a signal
 Which some killer will be lighting for pay
 Into this furnace I ask you now to venture
 You, whom I cannot betray
 ♪
 I fought in the old revolution
 On the side of the ghost and the king
 Of course I was very young
 And I thought that we were winning
 
 I can't pretend, I still feel very much like singing
 As they carry the bodies away
 Into this furnace I ask you now to venture
 You, whom I cannot betray
 ♪
 Lately you've started to stutter
 As though you had nothing to say
 To all of my architects
 Let me be traitor
 
 Now let me say, I myself gave the order
 To sleep and to search and to destroy
 
 Into this furnace I ask you now to venture
 You, whom I cannot betray
 ♪
 Yes, you, who are broken by power
 
 You, who are absent all day
 You, who are kings
 For the sake of your children's story
 
 The hand of your beggar is burdened down with money
 The hand of your lover is clay
 Into this furnace I ask you now to venture
 You, whom I cannot betray
