Can you hear the anguish in the cries? The sound of history's household lies
Eyes opened wide, as the age-old tale unfolds
Gun fire ignites, when the hearts have grown so cold
The land is divided, brothers torn apart
The propaganda we swallow, keeps us in the dark
We raised our hands as if to fight like one
But the enemy is on our side, oh how quick lies are spun
We raise the banners, one blue and one red
If we let our reason die, we're better off dead
The ashes of the past are rising up with the flames
History could have taught us something, but here we are again
This cycle we're in, can never make us free
Revolution and rage, make us blind make us bleed
We rise to fight for lives we cannot reclaim
In this divide, there can be no glory, only shame.
When will we learn from these lessons at last?
It’s in the silence of the coward, we can never get past
Oh, never thought I’d see the day
When countrymen turn their backs, betray
History's ghost, haunting every step we take
Brother against brother, for the empire's sake
As the cannonballs fall, will we remember the cost?
What was won is lost, this line we should never have crossed
We need to wake from this nightmare that brings rage
To break the chain of hatred, to turn the page
So here we stand, together with our fists we shake
Brother against brother, for the empire's sake
Never thought I’d see the day, will we ever learn?
Brother against brother, for the empire's sake
