Civilization
Sayyadina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Climbing higher
Step over anything
In their way
Walk the line of the man

Not scared anymore
I'm coming for you
Let there be heads rolling
We're coming for you

Scum die laughing from the bombs




We stole from you
And put on your backyard
