Up ahead in the distance I can hear the cannon blast Questioning who killed the king still Freedom rings the bullet slings shot Baby's dead the headline read Who's gonna stop the fight And let the thunder rumble Let it burn the flesh of the Let the earth take its turn Who cares if Armageddon's coming We lit the fires and started running Just like the children who carry the blame Throwing stones, stepping on a crack Oh no, your mama can never take you back Into the womb the break was clean How many days how many nights How many souls, How many lives We take the chain and break the chain When does the nightmare stop When does the dream begin "Hey, when does the fruit stop rotting?" The prince of peace was overthrown The olive branch when the dove was slain Take the chain and break the chain
