They march on
They chant old songs
I can't listen to all that any more
False flags again
They write lists, shout out names
And want to destroy us
[Refrain:]
I won't let my country slip away
I feel it crying
Where is the country that we once knew?
The peace that I mean has burned away
Gasoline into every fire
Steered in the wrong direction
I've had enough of this war
They lie and betray
They agitate, they manipulate
Their roots strike deep
It's not their country
They have no right
To destroy it
[Refrain:]
I won't let my country slip away
I feel it crying
Where is the country that we once knew?
The peace that I mean has burned away
Death, cold and a war
It was all there
If the country lies in the abyss
Then what will ever remain of it?
[Refrain:]
I won't let my country slip away
I feel it crying
Where is the country that we once knew?
The peace that I mean has burned away
