Look through the glass through the gates to the path

As we search for a world we once knew

Hurt from the sin as our world closes in

And we know we can never return

We turned our backs on all that keeps us safe inside our beds

They feed us lies to feed the greed we listen but never learn

A sympathetic word

Just open your eyes iopen your eyes

We are the rulers of the world

We bring destruction and pain

We are the rulers of the world

Come follow me come follow me

I can help you learn to live again

Rulers of the world

Rulers of the world

Rulers of the world

Rulers of the world

See how they hide in their lairs out of sight

As the young and the poor go to war

Their children are safe and the dream of a place where

The angels and virgins run riot

They sold our dreams and freedom on the back of blackened gold

Sold us down the river now it's turned to desert sand

Sympathy for the damned

Righteousness be damned

We are the rulers of the world

We bring destruction and pain

We are the rulers of the world

Come follow me come follow me

I can help you learn to live again

Rulers of the world

Rulers of the world

Rulers of the world

Rulers of the world
