Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Peaceful confrontation meet war machine
Seizing all civil liberties
Honest ballotation among banshee
Spilling blood on humanity
[Verse 2]
You cannot hide the face of death
Oppression ruled by bloodshed
No disguise can deface evil
The massacre of innocent people
[Verse 3]
Deviated lies fear blinds your eyes
Enforcing their truth through a gun
Aggressive discipline and barbaric control
Thousands of people cannot be wrong
[Verse 4]
You cannot hide the face of death
Oppression ruled by bloodshed
No disguise can deface evil
That stains the primitive sickle
Blood red
[Verse 5]

[Verse 6]
Growing opposition with words as ammunition
Expressions of life's liberties
Aggressive discipline and barbaric control
Spilling blood throughout humanity
[Verse 7]
You cannot hide the face of death
Oppression ruled by bloodshed
No disguise can deface evil
That stains the primitive sickle
Blood red
