Liam Hughes - The Social Classes

As people hide their evil traits
The darkness in them lies in wait
As rebels aim towards the state
Venom reveals itself as hate
But I do not think that time is late
It's time to listen to what passes

People who rely on proof
To test the things they know as truth
Will always fear the rising youth
The eagles claw the lions tooth
The devils eyes the horses hoof
As they try to break the social classes

While you cannot clear an empty space
You can read it in the daily race
Though fear is written on your face
All your clothes are made of lace
Not content with setting pace
Your world is full farces

But if this world could be seen
As part of an endless dream
You would wake in your beds and scream
How did this world become so mean
When did we tear the weakened seam
And can we repair the broken system

As trembled voices try to scare
All the time you're unaware
There's movement in the crowds that bare
The weight of all you tried to share
As you try to avoid their stare
You know you cannot miss them

While workers work to fill your home
They're picking off an empty bone
But you cannot hear their sickly groan
But you can see they're forced to roam
But while you're sitting on your throne
You can't even say god bless them
