Did we ask for trouble   When we asked for breath   A silent witness put to the test   In a frozen moment   An offering made   Foreign rumors live to this day   Do you feel protected   Inside white walls   A world neglected heads for a fall   A fate suspended   Each day is a gift   A world offended - god, wha tis this   He says, "we’ll walk in the front door   And proudly raise our heads"   I say man you must be joking   Our hands are covered in blood red   You’ve got a way that’s easy   The territory’s marked   Hurl us backwards - back to the start   A cool deception   A gifted tongue   Nations falling down, down, down   He says, "we’ll walk in the front door   And proudly raise our heads"   I say you must be foolin’   Our hands are covered in blood red   I see you standing   Beneath the tree   Your hands uplifted, on bended knee   In a fateful hour   You hear another voice   I must remember what was my choice   He says, "i am the one   The one for you."   A look in your eyes can tell me   What to do   I feel ecstatic   I feel tranformed   More than conquered down to the bone   He says, "we’ll walk in right through heaven’s door   And proudly raise our heads"   I say man you must be dreaming   Our hands are covered blood red
