They dwell in a palace of ivory and gold
In beauty and comfort, a fortune untolled
Yet, out in the courtyard injustice
prevails
They've turned their backs on what Lordship entails
They squander their riches on oceans of wine
The masses are
starving while ministers dine
The Bringers of Sorrow, the Masters of Pain
Rise up in anger, let sweet vengeance reign!
Tear
down the walls - tear down the walls
A code of corruption, a throne of despair
A common affliction the townspeople
share
Depriving the hungry and robbing the poor
Slaves to a system they loathe and deplore
A bounty of torment, abuse of
command
The wicked are crippling this misgoverned land
The innocent perish, the cruel remain
Take up your sabres, let sweet
vengeance reign!
Tear down the walls - tear down the walls
Tear down the walls - tear 'em down!
The peasants are storming
this palace of gold
By evil repressors, no longer controlled
The banner of justice unfurled overhead
The victors rejoicing, the
conquered lie dead
Yet few of them know what the future will bring
Another unjust and unmerciful King
The nature of Monarchs
is always the same
Soon time will come to let sweet vengeance reign!
Tear down the walls...
