Judge me for what I am

The passage of death

You don't play, you don't win

You change nothing

You gain nothing

Everybody's out from here on in



Heed my words hear me calling

Citizens watch

They're stealing our freedom

Promises left to die

And long forgotten

The government's lost

Tantamount to treason

Tedious the way we fall in

Avenging the cause

A rebel with reason

Fallen lines

Yet war keeps calling more home

I've been forsaken

For I am a patriot



Judge me for what I am

The passage of death

You don't play, you don't win

You change nothing

You gain nothing

Everybody's out from here on in



Need my trust

To tie the blindfold

Bled for my nation saluted the flag

Seeds of hate

Beneath numbered tombstones

Crowding more

Pledge my allegiance in ruins and rags



Heed my words hear me calling

Bled for my nation saluted the flag

Promises left to die

And long forgotten

Pledge my allegiance in ruins and rags



Out of my mind so easily

I've left behind so many dreams



Judge me for what I am

The passage of death

You don't play, you don't win

You change nothing

You gain nothing

Everybody's out from here on in



Heed my words hear me calling

Citizens watch

They're stealing our freedom

Promises left to die

And long forgotten

The government's lost

Tantamount to treason

Tedious the way we fall in

Avenging the cause

A rebel with reason

Fallen lines

As war keeps calling more home

I've been forsaken

For I am a patriot



Out of my mind so easily

I've left behind so many dreams

Spiritual blindness poisons me

Not living on living on my knees



Out of my mind so easily

I've left behind so many dreams

Spiritual blindness poisons me

Not living on or dying on my knees
