Lyrics Crushed - Parkway Drive

Crushed

Brothers, my brothers
Is this all that we are?
Sisters, my sisters
We’ve been crushed by the fists of God
Welcome to the free world where nothing’s as it seems
Tell me, can you find a cure when you can’t see and you can’t feel the disease?
Can you seek a higher truth when you’re living on your knees
Where freedom grows from blood-soaked soil in the lands of hypocrisy?
'Cause if you can’t see the chains, tell me what use is a key
It’s cash, blood, and oil in the age of the refugee
They’re trying to buy our minds, we ain’t selling
Bang, bang, bang, hear they’re nailing down the coffins
Cut the strings, feel your heart start
Cut the cord
rack this code of silence
All our lives in the hands of tyrants
Crushed by the fists of God, crushed
Crushed by the fists of God, crushed
We’ve been crushed by the fists of God
We’ve been crushed by the fists of God
To the left, I see the rats, and to the right, I see the snakes
In my ear, they’re whispering sweet sermons of cruel hate
So do you buy the fear or do you buy the lies?
Tell me, what will set us free?
Do we kneel before the crooked few or do we bite the fucking hand that feeds?
When death casts no shadow and hope carries no weight
Rise into the light and feel the shackles fade away
They fear what we know, we know how they break
Bang, bang, bang, drop the hammer of conscience
Cut the strings, feel your heart start
Cut the cord
rack this code of silence
All our lives
Crushed by the fists of God, crushed
Crushed by the fists of God, crushed
We’ve been crushed by the fists of God
We’re just waiting for the sky to fall
Yeah, I’m just waiting
Feels like all our lives we’ve been waiting for the sky to fall
Feels like all this time we’ve been
Brothers, my brothers
Is this all that we are?
Sisters, my sisters
We’ve been
Crushed by the fists of God
Crushed by the fists of God, crushed
Crushed by the fists of God, crushed
