Wake Of a Nation
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.
We brought you up, we'll bring you down
We're riling up
We're riling up
This American carcass beckons
Don't fall asleep at the wake of a nation
The king is dead
Dies irae
Beyond the shadow of a doubt again
The king is dead
Better look alive than disappear, my friend
Dies irae
Now you're just one of a billion
The king is dead
Not worth the hassle, but you can still pretend
Dies irae
Gib uns die Gabe, gib uns deine Lorbeeren
Gib uns die gäbe sofort
The king is dead
And it seems we ain't playing anymore
Pick it out, file your complaint at the door
Don't you think we grow tame over time
The king is dead, don't you get
Dies irae
This American carcass beckons
Don't fall asleep at the wake of a nation
Dies irae
This American carcass beckons
Don't fall asleep
Gib uns die Gabe, gib uns deine Lorbeeren
Gib uns die gäbe sofort
Gib uns die Gabe, gib uns deine Lorbeeren
Gib uns die gäbe sofort
The king is dead
