Текст песни A Little Lesson Of History

[The Lecturer]

When I was told to trace back the origin of greed

I could not help but think: 'greed is our vital creed'

As Cain slew his brother, we eventually kill our dreams

His mark withstands the water brought to wash our deepest sins...

Ever...

What was it that made the ancient Alexander to be great?

The lands that he had conquered or the myriads he'd enslaved?

Charlemagne's great scheme: 'bite off more than one can chew'

Made ashes turn to ashes, and empires turn to ruins

[Pre-chorus:]

Arise, silent spirits

And tell your stories

And now, by this fire

Let the truth be known...

[Chorus:]

Great lives

Great men that paid tribute to their lunacy

All of them, in this sad little lesson of history

Great deeds

Great feats that changed our destiny

In this sad little lesson of history

We are supreme beings, the ones with intellect

Underneath those garments, we're weaklings all the same

But as silence tells more, let actions speak

We came, we saw, and we ruined the world...

Never...

Bonaparte, who in earth could ever forget your ways?

First kill, then rest, and never ever regret

Then came the famous German that set Fenris loose

And the wretched folks of Zion became prey to the wolf

So cry havoc... and release the dogs of war!

What does it matter if we all

Fight each other for our own cause

[Repeat pre-chorus]

[Repeat chorus]

Old names remind us we're not different

In this sad little lesson of history

New names, the same old twisted story

In this complex, sad, little lesson of history
