Lyrics Heir Apparent

Heir Apparent

Tear Down The Walls

They dwell in a palace of ivory and gold

In beauty and comfort, a fortune untolled

Yet, out in the courtyard injustice prevails

They've turned their backs on what Lordship entails

They squander their riches on oceans of wine

The masses are starving while ministers dine

The Bringers of Sorrow, the Masters of Pain

Rise up in anger, let sweet vengeance reign!

Tear down the walls - tear down the walls

A code of corruption, a throne of despair

A common affliction the townspeople share

Depriving the hungry and robbing the poor

Slaves to a system they loathe and deplore

A bounty of torment, abuse of command

The wicked are crippling this misgoverned land

The innocent perish, the cruel remain

Take up your sabres, let sweet vengeance reign!

Tear down the walls - tear down the walls

Tear down the walls - tear 'em down!

The peasants are storming this palace of gold

By evil repressors, no longer controlled

The banner of justice unfurled overhead

The victors rejoicing, the conquered lie dead

Yet few of them know what the future will bring

Another unjust and unmerciful King

The nature of Monarchs is always the same

Soon time will come to let sweet vengeance reign!

Tear down the walls...
