Never held down
An eagle with a broken wing
Virtue's foot to the throat
Free of broken chains
Never restrained
A thief in an empty vault
Laugh at the conquered
Like a bull in a China shop
Thus always to tyrants
Never held down
Choke the purpose of this time
A thief in an empty vault
But the shelves have all been cleared
The victims now betray
Hope in a dead man's dream
You're just wasting time
And in this Commonwealth
The sound of a bell that will never ring
The victims now betray
Take all that you can give
Free of broken chains
No care for what you've spent
Like a bull in a China shop
And in this Commonwealth
There's merely a common concern for self
The sheep already sheared
There's merely a common concern for self
Never restrained
Thus always to tyrants
And I will make it mine
We hold these lies to be self-evident
But the shelves have all been cleared
As the dividends will reflect
You're just wasting time
Even fool's gold has its shine
The coffers have long run dry
The hands that feed intent
A screen door on a submarine
Laugh at the conquered
Virtue's foot to the throat
The sheep already sheared
The victims now betray
