Atmosphere is cold
Tension cuts like a knife
Hazed are the eyes
reflecting shadows of the past
Nothing moves -
They all just stare
Inner peace is gone
Tainted by time
Chorus:
Our great leaders,
the leaders of man
They lied to us all
They tried to pretend
They tightened the rope around your neck
Distorted all your views until the bitter end
Carry the cross,
the cross of burden
Only memories remain
looking for new life
The fear of the end
Lives in all of us
Heart and soul of man
Ravaged by greed
[Chorus]
Heart and soul of man
Ravaged by greed
Denial and deception
Feeds the sorrow
We'll perish in the end
Nothing will be so real
Divided as we fall
Break the solemn vow
Our great leaders,
the leaders of man
They lied to us all
They tried to pretend
Atmosphere is cold
Tension cuts like a knife
Hazed are the eyes
Reflecting shadows of the past
[Chorus]
Our great leaders,
the leaders of man
They lied to us all
They tried to pretend
They tightened the rope around your neck
Distorted all your visions until the bitter end
