Verse 1
Green French Copper gently weeps
Till rivulets carve moats
Men are ever wolves to men
Ripping their own throats
Roots shot down to grow in earth
Three thousand feet below
Tear gas glaives scream, "Jesus saves,"
Our slavers are enslaved
Chorus
Run you tired broken masses
Gasping to breathe free
Refuse of your teeming shore
Your neighbors chained and beat
My golden lamp lies broken
Catch flame to the golden door
Golden calf, Red Crowned gods
You won't breathe free anymore
Verse 2
You say glitter like gold
Well my skin shows, that you value a dying host
And many a man have been starved of a chance
Alienated from heaving dry breaths
A furnace is for gold, and my heart has been tested
Maybe I failed, what then, what then, what then
Chorus
Run you tired broken masses
Gasping to breathe free
Refuse of your teeming shore
Your neighbors chained and beat
My golden lamp lies broken
Catch flame to the golden door
Golden calf, Red Crowned gods
You won't breathe free anymore
