Blackfire Exile Lyrics

Exile Lyrics

While you were sleeping they waged a war



Didn't tell you 'till they came to your door



while you were sleeping they stole your freedom



made sure the odds werent even 



There's blood on the hands of time



a lie cheapens the vision



Did you read between the lines



or did they teach you not to question?



There's blood on the hands of time



they've taken it all away



buried the past with lies



but the pain is still felt today 







While you were sleeping they dug you a grave



gave you a # instead of a name



while you were sleeping they stole your dreams



beat you out of your beliefs 







There's blood on the hands of time



and in the pages of your books



blood paints the heavens



for all the lives that you took



there's blood on the hands of time



I still hear the screams



these wounds havent healed



they've massacred my dreams 







Exiled in the land of the free 







While you were sleeping they took the words from your mouth



and bound your hands



so when you tried to reach out



noone would understand



while you were sleeping they glorified the past



tried to cover up their lies



We will never forget



there's blood on the hands of time! 







Exiled in the land of the free 







It's in the eyes of the homeless and the abused



like its in the way that I live with this truth...



an outcast in my land, in my home, and in my mind



guilty 'till proven innocent and I'm still doing the time 







my head is crowded with these screams



my mind is massacred by these images...



those who couldn't keep up with the rest



weren't worth the bullet



something I'll never forget



not worth the bullet



I'm not gonna forget



not worth the bullet 







There's blood on the hands of time



we will not forget



our people marched in Exile



not worth the bullet 







...there's blood on the hands of time 







Exiled in the land of the free
