Consequences — Iced Earth

As human beings, we're a complex thing Sometimes so beatiful, other times so vain We've built an Empire the blood is on our hands Genocide and the chains that bind The consequences ahead

Oh. you ought to know Oh. you ought to know

Wrote about in history as if it's all O.K. A race of people murdered, another one enslaved Now our world crumbles, it's happening within Open your eyes and realize The world we're living in

Oh, you ought to know Oh, you ought to know

If we could focus on important things Live and let live true freedom not everyone's the same No more war for your god, No more war for your race, It's our world, It's what we make it Make it a better place

Oh, you ought to know Oh, you ought to know

We can change the world that we're living in Live and let live true freedom Let the reign begin
