lyrics

The heavy hand is held to the ear
Say what you want, it's not what they hear
The nights get longer, another wasted year
Everything you see is not what it appears

The long haul trucks are headed to the North
The people were mad but their voices ignored
Now I've seen bad but nothing like this before
A looming tower headed straight to shore

When the sun goes down
Don't you know trouble's coming around?

There's a divide between the simple and smart
It's easy to rule when you lead in the dark
The wolves got the books and they tore them apart
There's blood in the water for them circling sharks

Through the bitter cold money lights the way
Now two dead men lie in Burn's Lake
The hoards are massing just outside our gates
From their towers in the sky I hope they're safe

Who is left to save if this train's a runaway?
