11. Bite the Hand That Feeds (4:48)
Swallow the sun in shadows as they suck out the marrow
The hopeless suffer in the fear of tomorrow
We count the cost to measure it against our loss
The sacrifice of the innocent
Separation
The lie from the truth - the lie from the truth
Our division is our proof
We can't allow this to stand
Oppression on demand - led by liars and thieves
As desperation bleeds
They brought us to our knees - so bite the hand that feeds
All their poisonous belief
Lead us only to grief - led by liars and thieves
As desperation bleeds
They brought us to our knees - so bite the hand that feeds
Altercations spread through violent sanction
Mother give your children to the beast
The battles of the poor will soon be called to war
For the wealthy and their war machine
We can't allow this to stand
Oppression on demand - led by liars and thieves
As desperation bleeds
They brought us to our knees - so bite the hand that feeds
Pushed to the breaking point awake from your slumber
Kick back the shroud that humanity's under
The beckoning call of our so called masters
Subjugate us to the brink of disaster
All for what cause
To perpetuate their endless wars
We can't allow this to stand
Oppression on demand - led by liars and thieves
As desperation bleeds
They brought us to our knees - so bite the hand that feeds
All their poisonous belief
Lead us only to grief - led by liars and thieves
As desperation bleeds
They brought us to our knees - so bite the hand that feeds
Where do we go from here
We won't go quietly
It must be the end of apathy
We let go of the grip of our sanity
What would you - what would you kill for
What would you - what would you die for
What would you - what would you kill for
What would you - what would you die for
The hopeless suffer in the fear of tomorrow
We count the cost to measure it against our loss
The sacrifice of the innocent
Separation
The lie from the truth - the lie from the truth
Our division is our proof
We can't allow this to stand
Oppression on demand - led by liars and thieves
As desperation bleeds
They brought us to our knees - so bite the hand that feeds
All their poisonous belief
Lead us only to grief - led by liars and thieves
As desperation bleeds
They brought us to our knees - so bite the hand that feeds
Altercations spread through violent sanction
Mother give your children to the beast
The battles of the poor will soon be called to war
For the wealthy and their war machine
We can't allow this to stand
Oppression on demand - led by liars and thieves
As desperation bleeds
They brought us to our knees - so bite the hand that feeds
Pushed to the breaking point awake from your slumber
Kick back the shroud that humanity's under
The beckoning call of our so called masters
Subjugate us to the brink of disaster
All for what cause
To perpetuate their endless wars
We can't allow this to stand
Oppression on demand - led by liars and thieves
As desperation bleeds
They brought us to our knees - so bite the hand that feeds
All their poisonous belief
Lead us only to grief - led by liars and thieves
As desperation bleeds
They brought us to our knees - so bite the hand that feeds
Where do we go from here
We won't go quietly
It must be the end of apathy
We let go of the grip of our sanity
What would you - what would you kill for
What would you - what would you die for
What would you - what would you kill for
What would you - what would you die for
