Judge me for what I am
The passage of death
You don't play, you don't win
You change nothing
You gain nothing
Everybody's out from here on in

Heed my words hear me calling
(Citizens watch, they're stealing our freedom)
Promises left to die, and long forgotten
(The government's lost, tantamount to treason)
Tedious the way we fall in
(Avenging the cause, a rebel with reason)
Fallen lines, yet war keeps calling more home
(I've been forsaken, for I am a patriot)

Judge me for what I am
The passage of death
You don't play, you don't win
You change nothing
You gain nothing
Everybody's out from here on in

Need my trust, to tie the blindfold
(Bled for my nation, saluted the flag)
Seeds of hate, beneath numbered tombstones crowding more
(Pledge my allegiance in ruins and rags)
Heed my words hear me calling
(Bled for my nation saluted the flag)
Promises left to die, and long forgotten
(Pledge my allegiance in ruins and rags)

Out of my mind so easily
I've left behind so many dreams

Judge me for what I am
The passage of death
You don't play, you don't win
You change nothing
You gain nothing
Everybody's out from here on in

Heed my words, hear me calling
(Citizens watch they're stealing our freedom
Promises left to die, and long forgotten
(The government's lost, tantamount to treason)
Tedious the way we fall in
(Avenging the cause, a rebel with reason)
Fallen lines, as war keeps calling more home
(I've been forsaken, for I am a patriot)

Out of my mind so easily
I've left behind so many dreams
Spiritual blindness poisons me
Not living on, living on my knees

Out of my mind so easily
I've left behind so many dreams
Spiritual blindness poisons me
Not living on or dying on my knees
