Changing Of The Guard |
Rumanian dictator, emperor for life |
Lived a life of luxury shared only by his wife |
Growing fat like pigs, eating meals fit for a king |
Accumulating assets like none you’ve ever seen |
Now the table’s turned, they were stripped of all they owned |
The revolution’s cast the dictator from the throne |
With their execution, so ends the tyranny |
Two bullets from a rifle set the people free |
Fighting for their rights |
They toppled the regime |
Pillage all their riches |
Left them not a thing |
Now they know the feeling |
To reap the seeds they’ve sewn |
Banished from the living |
When they were overthrown |
How did they feed the enormous greed |
It took to satisfy their needs? |
They drained the country dry |
As thousands had to die |
But now the monarchy is nullfied! |
The changing of the guard |
They no longer deal the cards |
The world demands democracy |
It’s the dawning of a time |
When the system’s redefined |
Oppression’s now a distant memory |
Communism yields to the might the people wield |
For a democratic form of government |
For their blatant disregard |
They have suffered long and hard |
It’s time for a changing of the guard! |
No longer will they rule the land by genocide |
The traces of their empire have all been liquefied |
Political reform has gotten underway |
Now they’re free to speak, before they’d only pray |
Freedom is contagious, it’s spreading far and wide |
The Berlin Wall has fallen, there’s no need to divide |
They walk across a border where many tried and failed |
Others died but not in vain, the people have prevailed |
Fighting for their rights |
They toppled the regime |
Pillaged all their riches |
Left them not o thing |
Now they know the feeling |
To reap the seeds they’ve sewn |
Banished from the living |
When they were overthrown |
How did they feed the enormous greed |
It took to satisfy their needs? |
They drained the country dry |
As thousands had to die |
But now the monarchy is nullified! |
