Red Carpet Lyrics

Watch yourself

You should be proud

All eyes on you

They're shouting loud

You're on their television screen

All it needs are dying dreams

A voice against you jailed to rot

And dirty deals are blooming up

A former home is now destroyed

A broken mother grieves her boy

You build a stage with a red carpet on the floor

The call for freedom

Got answered with a war

Expressing thoughts becomes a thrill

When fear alone enforces a will

Committed crimes are swept below

The red carpet on the floor

No doubts you really made it clear

A thunderstorm

And now you're here

Humanity is pushed away

Lowest lows ruling the day

Diplomacy

Got obsolete

Guns and bombs filling the streets

The trains are full

But no one cries

Orphaned child with empty eyes

You build a stage with a red carpet on the floor

The call for freedom

Got answered with a war

Expressing thoughts becomes a thrill

When fear alone enforces a will

Committed crimes are swept below

The red carpet on the floor

Hey

Calm down

And tell me what's on your mind

I got some questions

From the other side

How does it feel when people

Are killing in your name

When families tear apart

Is it right or just insane

You brought that storm

Where children lose their lives

Are you dead inside

Or does that feel alright

You build a stage with a red carpet on the floor

The call for freedom

Got answered with a war

Expressing thoughts becomes a thrill

When fear alone enforces a will

Committed crimes are swept below

The red carpet on the floor
