the sky is dark the time has come
people are yelling for peace and freedom
in a world without democracy without love and without rights
to get what belongs to you you have to fight
the ruler in his castle preaching to his marionettes
you have to kill the rebels before you go to bed
but the ruler’s time has come and the regime‘s about to drown
the threats become too loose and the rebels come to town
the rebels come to town
and the wind of change will blow
the rebels come to town
and injustice will go
the palace is decaying an the throne is rotten
and the rulers of today will soon be forgotten
the ruler‘s obedient sheep begin to grind their teeth
become more and more like wolves and revolution begins to breathe
the ruler calls his soldiers but his soldiers won‘t arrive
they once have fought for him now they fight for life
the evil mighty ruler slowly becomes a clown
he starts to run away because the rebels are in town
