I know I’ve seen the horror of the masses, lost beneath the starsYet here I am, their servant, with their cargo of unconscious menI know I shouldn’t allow it, shouldn’t accept it, but I can’t again

Oh and I know I’ve seen the bloodshed, seen the killing, seen the people starveI know I’ve seen the horror of the masses, lost beneath the starsYet here I am, their servant, with their cargo of unconscious menI know I shouldn’t allow it, shouldn’t accept it, but I can’t againI know I’ve seen the cities set on fire by the new regime
I know I’ve fallen victim to the mindgames of the monarchyI know they’re drugged in thousands, across the ocean, just to wake up and dieI know I’ve seen their faces, hopeless and crying, wanting to say goodbye
