lyrics
Peasants
Horizons seem to dwindle away, plantations lead our race to an end
Insubordination, fear, reaching for answers in the wind
Celebration of wealth is beneath me, I am armed with only my poverty to lend
Civilized men, they are buying and selling, my family and friends
The day of a servent begins
Frustration on one side of the line, split by these envious tears
Confusion running circles in time, change will take too many years
Southern skies show no signs of compromise, fighting for answers
Segregration will reign
Abuse turns our knowledge into pain
Mental freedom is reason to claim a new domain
(chorus)
Souls on fire, fed by desire, told of power to be found higher
Confused by these sacred views, tradition ripped this nation, tired
Plastic kings walk guilty in a bet, challenged in a ruthless life of regret
Only to remain holy, the peasants follow
"To the fields of the dead we were lead"
Ripped us from our homeland you smile in our tears
Enslaved in a new world, the peasants live in fear
We'll toil to the masses, we're foiled by the king
Feast your eyes on liberty and peace, on the fields of green
Backwards times, and the murder of millions
Not by death, by insane conviction
200 years in a search for the villian
Man fights man in a butchered plan, the peasants live in fiction
(chorus)
