lyrics
I was born with blood on my hands,
for the sins of my father and the motherland,
for king and country and the chain of command.
Look no further than the ground on which I stand.
Suck the blood from the earth, sell it for dirt cheap,
mark up what it’s worth, take more than you need.
You can watch the world burn as you turn the other cheek.
Look no further than the ground on which I speak.
There's a history that no one mentions.
Questions won’t set you free.
It wasn't all good intentions
that paved the way for me.
The ground's not stained where blood was spilled,
but corruption's ingrained and I'll inherit the guilt.
When foundations crack and towers tilt,
look no further than the ground on which it's built.
There's a history that no one mentions.
Questions won’t set you free.
It wasn't all good intentions
that paved the way for me.
