[Verse]
Children cry while the tanks roll on
Fields of gold turned to dust at dawn
Dreams are buried beneath the stone
But you sit high on your crumbling throne
[Prechorus]
Wires hum with the weight of lies
The smoke it chokes but the flame still tries
[Chorus]
Shame on you for the blood you buy
Shame on you for the truth you deny
Peace is screaming through the cracks in the wall
You can’t silence the hope of us all
[Verse 2]
The river runs red in the Congo's heart
While nations profit tearing lives apart
Borders built with a dollar and a gun
Who wins this game when no one's won
[Prechorus]
The skies are heavy with the tears they weep
The promises you made cut so deep
[Chorus]
Shame on you for the blood you buy
Shame on you for the truth you deny
Peace is screaming through the cracks in the wall
You can’t silence the hope of us all
