Lyrics
The Day You Built the Wall
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I am the black lord
I am a slave
Our world is dying
We are all naive
I am the darkness
I am the grave
I am the voice you love to hate
Blame the world or blame yourself
Or just accept what cannot change
Your shameful burden burns into your skin
Suffer your sins
I am the black lord
I am a slave
You are the aftermath
The blue insane
You are the shamed
You are the drained
You cannot change the world
You cannot change
Blame the world or blame yourself
Or just accept what cannot change
Stack your stones with blood and bones
And build your wall of separation
Smash yourself and kill your friends
And build your wall of separation
The day you built the wall, our world was dying
The day you built the wall, you were the bastard
