Betrayal
Lyrics
Officers played music to cover the shooting As 16,500 were killed in a day The next day the music moved to point that over 14,000 died By the time the tour ended, 38,000 men, women and children had been killed By battalion of less than 500 men ♪ No one survives Against hateful minds ♪ I can feel the pressure growing Last time you walked away This time there will be no one there Waiting to take your place Think not that the world now ones you Think not of your despair Rise up and take their power Do not hesitate or fear ♪ For them, a distant memory Waiting with bated breath I see through parts of your life Why do you lie to me? One of the reasons why, the movement Began to move executions behind prison's Is the effect that it would have on young people Their parents would take them to witness an execution Thinking that perhaps it would have some salutary effect They would hold 'em up so that they could get a good glimpse and all of that But I found I guess 30 or 40 cases, where after witnessing an execution A child of tender years, would hang a playmate or hang themselves We must distrust each, other it is our best defense From those who seek to specialize in betrayal There's no comfort in freedom, for what we seek is pain Your life has now come undone I'll watch you beg for
