Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's blood in the dust where the city's heart beats
The children play games that they take from the streets
How can you teach when you've so much to learn?
May you turn, may you turn
May you turn, may you turn
May you turn, may you turn
In your brave new world
[Verse 2]
There is hate in your eyes, I have seen it before
Planning destruction behind a locked door
Were you the coward who fired the last shot?
May you rot, may you rot
May you rot, may you rot
May you rot, may you rot
In your brave new world
[Verse 3]
There is death in the air with the lights growing dim
As those who survive sing a desperate hymn
Pray that God grants you one final request
May you rest, may you rest
May you rest, may you rest
May you rest, may you rest
In your brave new world
