lyrics

Anna I hear you crying
But I cannot stop the war
And I know you know
That life just isn’t fair

Double standard consequences
Corrupting our souls
Flaming skulls
That laugh at all your tears

You better run
The moving target hides the best
Because you are just howling at the moon

I heard the new battle cry
To steal back what was stolen first
“Yo ho! Yo ho! Yo ho! Yo ho!”
With pirate mind and pirate eye
Shout freedom like a canon burst
“Yo ho! Yo ho! Yo ho! Yo ho!”

You better run
Your Jolly Roger up the mast
Because you are just howling at the moon

“Free speech!” you cried with a valiant tongue
But when someone whispered something wrong
You sang the killing song
You sang the killing song
When the old man lived a life too long
And didn’t make this world a perfect one
You sang the killing song
You sang the killing song

When all of the running is done at last
And your future catches up with your past
Will you deny their place?
Are they the human race?
History beckons and destiny calls
Those who were noble shall now take the fall
They will take the blame
Release us from shame
