Up ahead in the distance i can hear the cannon blast Questioning who killed the king still Echoing from the past Freedom rings the bullet slings shot Out into the night Baby's dead the headline read Who's gonna stop the fight Let the lightening flash And let the thunder rumble Let it burn the flesh of the Proud and humble Let the earth take its turn And burst at the seams In my redemption dream Who cares if armageddon's coming We lit the fires and started running Just like the children who carry the blame Who brought the mission Burning down in flames Throwing stones, stepping on a crack Oh no, your mama can never take you back Into the womb the break was clean In my redemption dream How many days how many nights How many souls, how many lives We take the chain and break the chain Let's make a change In my redemption dream When does the nightmare stop When does the dream begin Go ask the street vendor "hey, when does the fruit stop rotting?" The prince of peace was overthrown By a seductive king The olive branch when the dove was slain Washed away downstream Take the chain and break the chain And make a change In my redemption dream
