 Struggling with Nation? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

For five thousand years of blood and sweat, they've built a nation - strong and proud
Idealistic minds, they formed a state, and made their anthem sound
It didn't even cross their minds that this could one day fail
To lose that special thing that binds, and send them all to hell
Enemies from all around, tried to crush them down until they die
Many wars they fought and won, holding hands and arms up high
They couldn't guess their own demise would come from deep within
But even if they knew and warned, are their children listening?
Why destroy everything that we've built?
Killing people without any guilt
Awful silence, there won't be a sound
When the dust settles down to the… ground!
The future holds so many questions, puzzles, and undiscovered truths
The past must be remembered, they must hold on to their roots
All their ancestors' labor did bear fruit, but can't they see?
Will they be smart enough to grow, or will they cut down their own tree?
Why destroy everything that we've built?
Killing people without any guilt
Awful silence, there won't be a sound
When the dust settles down to the… ground!
Why destroy everything that we've built?
Killing people without...
Awful silence, there won't be a sound
When the dust settles down to the ground
Why destroy everything that we've built?
Killing people without any guilt
Awful silence, there won't be a sound
When the dust settles down to the ground
