Look through the glass through the gates to the path As we search for a world we once knew Hurt from the sin as our world closes in And we know we can never return
We turned our backs on all that keeps us safe inside our beds They feed us lies to feed the greed we listen but never learn A sympathetic word Just open your eyes open your eyes
We are the rulers of the world We bring destruction and pain We are the rulers of the world Come follow me come follow me I can help you learn to live again Rulers of the world Rulers of the world Rulers of the world Rulers of the world
See how they hide in their lairs out of sight As the young and the poor go to war Their children are safe and the dream of a place where The angels and virgins run riot
They sold our dreams and freedom on the back of blackened gold Sold us down the river now it's turned to desert sand Sympathy for the damned Righteousness be damned
We are the rulers of the world We bring destruction and pain We are the rulers of the world Come follow me come follow me I can help you learn to live again Rulers of the world Rulers of the world Rulers of the world Rulers of the world
