Prejudice Reigns

Spoken:

Where is this world without hatred, fear or greed

Where we don't judge others by their color or their beliefs

In the last days of the war, was there any hope at all

And in the last days of the wall, was there any remorse at all

They took their wives, took their child and led them all away

Took their pride, took their lives until nothing else remained

They walked down aisles single file marked by numbers not by names

Put on trial for their lifestyle only led them to the grave

And when we think things have changed, take a look at the world today

There's still scars there's still pain from the embers of yesterday

Beaten and battered and withered but still marching on are the masses

Who were killed by misguided leaders and foes

Victims of senseless crimes beyond realms of the innocent mind

Some surving the hell at what cost

Chorus:

How can we go on this way, judging by colors, killing by race

Have we no guilt, have we no shame, bringing up children where prejudice reigns

How many years have echoed, fear that another disciple

Will fall from the alter and reign terror

Lessons for all mankind to live far beyond enemy lines

Years of betrayal have made us blind

Chorus:

How can we go on this way, judging by colors, killing by race

Have we no guilt, have we no shame, words whispered in silence still bring pain

Bridge:

Your color is power, one stands for another

Your scars of denial will break the walls

Where hide, where they hide

Your scars of denial is where prejudice reigns, reigns

SOLO

Chorus:

How can we go on this way, judging by colors, killing by race

Have we no guilt, have we no shame, bringing up children where prejudice reigns

How can we go on this way, judging by colors, still killing by race

Have we no guilt, have we no shame, bringing up children where prejudice reigns
