---- First Verse ---|

 For love and for country, its never the same

 To men of high power, the two dont equate

 When leaders of nations, and brokers of hate

 Continue to play the most deadly of games

--- Second Verse ---|

 They shuffle their demons, and deal out their sins

Hand out their weapons, like candy to kids

Pull on their people, like puppets on strings

 To play out their war, in the court of the king

Chorus

 And the fires keep burning in the middle of the night

 The rivers keep flowing like the tears from your eyes

 You can still hear the voices of all those who died

 In the land of a thousand hills

---- Third Verse ---|

 We drank through the summer, and soaked in the sun

 While over the ocean, the killing begun

 They followed their leaders, and fired their guns

 We had no idea, of what was to come

Chorus

 And the fires keep burning in the middle of the night

 The rivers keep flowing like the tears from your eyes

 You can still hear the voices of all those who died

 They echo, they echo, like shots from a gun

 They echo, they echo, like the rhythm of your drum

 For one hundred days, you could never see the sun

 In the land of a thousand hills

--- Fourth Verse ---|

 And years will have passed, til the world would find out

 The truth of unthinkable violence, so loud

 It shattered the heavens, and silenced the crowd

 The highest almighty, cannot save us now

 Oh my brother, oh my brother, tell me what have you done?!

 Well hide in the church, til the bulldozers come

 There are men with machetes, and children with guns

 Well never forgive you, for what you have done

Chorus

 And the fires keep burning in the middle of the night

 The rivers keep flowing like the tears from your eyes

 You can still hear the voices of all those who died

 They echo, they echo, like shots from a gun

 They echo, they echo, like the rhythm of your drum

 The rest of the world will expose all their lies

 And all those you silenced will once again rise

 For one hundred days, you could never see the sky

 In the land of a thousand hills

 For one hundred days, you could never see the sky

 In the land of a thousand hills

 In the land of a thousand hills
