[Music: Jon & Zane; Lyrics: Jon]
Oh ‒ death of a dream
You, you feel, that I
Should give you what is mine
Take from my family
Take from when I die
These, these hands, so scarred
Work the soil 'til now I'm gone
Pay for protection
Taxed to death and again
Oh ‒ death of a dream
Boots, you hear, marching
Take you off in the night
Take your will and you rights
No one can claim it's right
Laws, they will no kneel
Abuse them as they feel
Power, they crave and they take
Ignorants, bound in chains
Oh ‒ death of a dream
[Chorus:]
Death of a dream ‒ when the light is gone inside
Death of a dream ‒ rights of kings denied
Death of a dream ‒ when a lie is not a lie
Death of a dream ‒ liberty has died
My mind's no longer my own
Persecuted for my thoughts
Motives hidden
They've got no interest in me
Dreams, they are grounding out
Like a flame that's been snuffed out
Desire's been crushed
Give me faith to believe
Oh ‒ death of a dream
[Chorus]
