00:05:40 - And the walls go on with brainwashed pride
00:05:43 - For the love of God and a human right
00:05:47 - And all these things are swept aside

00:08:33 - My hands are dying
00:08:37 - Well all I see and I think in my mind
00:08:40 - But still the ones who wanna see it go by
00:08:44 - With no love I've got all human rights
00:08:48 - And all these treacherous whips decide
00:08:51 - By bloody hands of the hypnotists
00:08:54 - Who carry the crimes of homicide
