Lyrics

Ruled by Secrecy

Repress and restrain Still the pressure and the pain Wash the blood off your hands This time she won't understand Change in the air And they'll hide everywhere And no one knows who's in control You're working so hard And you're never in charge Your death creates success And you'll build and suppress Change in the air And they'll hide everywhere And no one knows who's in control Change in the air And they'll hide everywhere And no one knows who's in control ooh.
