black gold and a red dawn
didn't they tell you little boys
this is how the west was won
you send those ones to war you wouldn't for
send the ones to war you'd never die for
pitfall it's a travesty 
there's no victory in defeat
no victory in defeat
revolution rising
now
the world stands faint in the blink of an eye
they'll keep us occupied as they occupied
terrorize as they victimize 
what comes next when there's nothing left to exploit?
you ride to war but not to glory
another hundred lost before it's morning
revolution rising 
now
black gold and a red dawn
didn't they tell you little boys
this is how the west was won
you send those ones to war you wouldn't for
send the ones to war you'd never die for
pitfall it's a travesty 
there's no victory in defeat
no victory in defeat
revolution rising 
NOW
