American Dream Lyrics by Pentagram

Last Rites

2011

[Verse 1]
We came into this land
With a dream and an empty hand
To pray to our chosen God
Now we fain to wear a mourning band
One by one, we're letting go
Of the strength that our people hold
In deception, we disesteem
And turn our morals into fool's gold
[Verse 2]
Now we seek to light again
The flame that burns within
Before it's all been lost
To politics, lined pockets, thick skin
And as our time grows short
The favored truth is to distort
They wanna make believers of fools
But the judgment won't be in man's court
[Outro]
The American dream
Has fallen asleep
If we wake the giant
What will our people reap?
[Guitar Solo]
