a thousand dead bodies
washed up on the shore
telling a story
you can’t deny anymore
what is your purpose
how do you think this will end
when this war is over
you’ll be the king of no man’s land
let us die by thirst or let us drown
we’re the ones you made us
burn our houses shoot us down
we’re the ones you made us
kill until your lies come true
we’re the ones you made us
you will pay for what you do cause
we’re the ones you made us
we are the voice of reason
you won’t silence us with pain
we bear the consequences
everytime you make a mistake
we kill and die
for a truth you try to hide from us
we spend our lives
losing what we thought was faith or trust
we’ve reached the boiling point
and you’re still fueling the fire
let us die by thirst or let us drown
we’re the ones you made us
burn our houses shoot us down
we’re the ones you made us
kill until your lies come true
we’re the ones you made us
you will pay for what you do cause
we’re the ones you made us
you should have shown some respect
now you’re running
from those you’re supposed to protect
now you are running
now you are running
now you are running
now you are running
there’s no chance this won’t backfire
you promised peace but practice war
you better watch your back
the next time that we raise our guns
the mood has changed
and you’re the ones to blame
go hide away
and beware of what you made of us
we’ve reached the boiling point
now get into the water
let us die by thirst or let us drown
we’re the ones you made us
burn our houses shoot us down
we’re the ones you made us
kill until your lies come true
we’re the ones you made us
you will pay for what you do cause
we’re the ones you made us
