Ivory Cage by The Modern Age Slavery Lyrics
We both are men but we are not equal for you have a gun and I don’t
You fight in the name of a flag for a wage for a head
For the sake of a nation and its democratic laws
Dried-eyed by the horror of wars
Wounded by the sight of suffering and innocent blood
First rumbling of planes then thunderous blow and burning
Among this dusty silence and filthy roads
We both are men but we are not equal for you have a gun and I don’t
(Days) - Months – Years – Decades –
A lifetime of hatred and nothing here for death to take away
There is more than just what will meet the eye, an infinite succession
Your free world: an ivory cage of contradictions
But how can you realize
How does it feel to suffer like I did?
No you don’t have the right to judge me
But I hope you will realize - oh god I mean it
How does it feel to suffer like I did
That day we will be equal and you’ll have the right to judge my pain
Your free world is an ivory cage
Dried-eyed by the horror of wars
For everyone is suffering and no one is an innocent man
You fight in the name of a flag for a wage for a head
For the sake of a nation and its democratic laws
Dried-eyed by the horror of wars
Wounded by the sight of suffering and innocent blood
First rumbling of planes then thunderous blow and burning
Among this dusty silence and filthy roads
We both are men but we are not equal for you have a gun and I don’t
(Days) - Months – Years – Decades –
A lifetime of hatred and nothing here for death to take away
There is more than just what will meet the eye, an infinite succession
Your free world: an ivory cage of contradictions
But how can you realize
How does it feel to suffer like I did?
No you don’t have the right to judge me
But I hope you will realize - oh god I mean it
How does it feel to suffer like I did
That day we will be equal and you’ll have the right to judge my pain
Your free world is an ivory cage
Dried-eyed by the horror of wars
For everyone is suffering and no one is an innocent man
