Lyrics Virtue - Kingdom of Giants

Virtue

Soldiers!
don’t give yourselves to brutes — men who despise you — enslave you —
who regiment your lives — tell you what to do — what to think and what to feel!
Who drill you — diet you — treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder.
Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men — machine men with machine minds
and machine hearts!
You are not machines!
You are not cattle!
You are men!
You have the love of humanity in your hearts!
You don’t hate!
Only the unloved
hate — the unloved and the unnatural!
Soldiers!
Don’t fight for slavery!
Fight for liberty!
In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: «the Kingdom of God is within
man» — not one man nor a group of men, but in all men!
In you!
You,
the people have the power — the power to create machines.
The power to create
happiness!
You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful,
to make this life a wonderful adventure
Then — in the name of democracy — let us use that power — let us all unite.
Let us fight for a new world — a decent world that will give men a chance to
work — that will give youth a future and old age a security.
By the promise of
these things, brutes have risen to power.
But they lie!
They do not fulfil that
promise.
They never will!
Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people!
Now let us fight to
fulfil that promise!
Let us fight to free the world — to do away with national
barriers — to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance.
Let us fight for a
world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s
happiness.
Soldiers!
in the name of democracy, let us all unite!
Will I ever find my place?
Lost in this world of hopeless faith
Can I prove myself or have a sealed my fate?
When the man you wish you were meets the man that you became
Stop searching for a place to hide your blame
This song is for the dreamers
Laughing in the face of those who gave in and settled and say
That you should do the same
This song goes out to anyone who knows their heart is strong
Who would do anything to protect anyone they love
This song goes out to all the kids who never had a chance
Who gave their everything but never seem to get it back
This song goes out to anyone who knows their heart is true
This song goes out to you
