Counting Zeros

The days have grown long

And the nights have grown cold

We once were young and strong

Now we're weakened and old

We came to this land

In search of freedom

And put in its place

A new breed of kingdom

Alive, but we're dying

We're silent, but we're crying out in pain

Been waiting for a savior to rise again

Once this was a place for heroes

Now they're all just counting zeros, and my life

Is nothing more than a line in the sand

They put out our eyes

With visions of grandeur

And cut out our tongues

With the bitter taste of failure

They covered our ears

With the promise of freedom

And we ransomed our souls

For Gods we believed in

Alive, but we're dying

We're silent, but we're crying out in pain

Been waiting for a savior to rise again

Once this was a place for heroes

Now they're all just counting zeros, and my life

Is nothing more than a line in the sand

Now I ask you, can we stand up as one

And go after our freedom

Rectify the façade

Of a free nation

Destroy the golden shackles

Awaiting our children

Alive, but we're dying

We're silent, but we're crying out in pain

Been waiting for a savior to rise again

Once this was a place for heroes

Now they're all just counting zeros, and my life

Is nothing more than a line in the sand
