Cold as Ice

 The world's in chaos
 The masses are on edge
 Leaders have become lawless
 Corruption is their pledge
 
 We have seen what a dictatorship looks like
 But that was in other places
 Maybe there will be a fourth Reich
 We are just seeing the traces

 Armies are in the streets
 Shooting people down
 They will not retreat
 As they march from town to town

 Protesters in the streets
 Freedom has its price
 The masses move to freedom's  beat
 But the armies are as cold as ice
