Lyrics
Built on exclusions
His counter-revolution
It crashes the gates
And the hour is late
Built on exclusions
His counter-revolution
It crashes the gates
And the hour is late
Light a flame to guide you
The only way out is through
Light a flame to guide you
The only way out is through
He lets his cronies dance
They say your life is a joke
They speak nothing but falsehoods
From the top-down view
Light a flame to guide you
The only way out is through
Light a flame to guide you
The only way out is through
Return of the Guillotine
Servants of abuse
When the monsters rule
It lies within you
When the monsters rule
When the monsters rule
When the monsters rule
The long night approaches
Over capitol steps
Feel your pulse quicken
It's your truth
