[Verse 1]
Over the sands, we will roll
Blood on our hands and our souls
Filthy ideals fed to us
By those who play God
"In God we trust"?
[Chorus]
This is insane
We were wrong
These days of shame
Last so long...
[Verse 2]
I've taken on this position
'Cause that's where I stand
Abort the deadly mission
And meet our demands
Inhabitants, beware
Of the fascist regime
Denounce the tales of torture
Absurd and obscene
Oh!
[Chorus]
Pure deception, sleight of hand
Spread dementia across the land
Information overload
Infiltrate the status quo
Don't speak for me or stain my name
On these disgraceful days of shame...
[Verse 3]
Your worldliest possessions
Are now worth a shit
Economical warfare
All world markets hit
One hundred thousand dead
And billions are spent
Inauguration, all threats
And messages sent
Oh!
[Solo]
[Bridge]
From the ashes, we will rise
To wipe this nightmare from our eyes...
[Chorus]
Our fear is most contagious
Our ignorance, bliss
A lethal show of force
But the force is remiss
All based on false perception
To misplace the blame
No place to hang our heads
In these days of shame, in these days of shame
[Outro]
In these days of shame...
