Changing Of The Guard Lyrics - Impact Is Imminent - Exodus

Rumanian dictator, emperor for life 

Lived a life of luxury shared only by 

his wife 

Growing fat like pigs, eating meals fit 

for a king 

Accumulating assets like none you've 

ever seen 

Now the table's turned, they were stripped 

of all they owned 

The revolution's cast the dictator from 

the throne 

With their execution, so ends the tyranny 

Two bullets from a rifle set the people free 

Fighting for their rights 

They toppled the regime 

Pillage all their riches 

Left them not a thing 

Now they know the feeling 

To reap the seeds they've sewn 

Banished from the living 

When they were overthrown 

How did they feed the enormous greed 

It took to satisfy their needs? 

They drained the country dry 

As thousands had to die 

But now the monarchy is nullfied! 

Chorus 

The changing of the guard 

They no longer deal the cards 

The world demands democracy 

It's the dawning of a time 

When the system's redefined 

Oppression's now a distant memory 

Communism yields to the might the 

people wield 

For a democratic form of government 

For their blatant disregard 

They have suffered long and hard 

It's time for a changing of the guard! 

No longer will they rule the land 

by genocide 

The traces of their empire have all 

been liquefied 

Political reform has gotten underway 

Now they're free to speak, before they'd 

only pray 

Freedom is contagious, it's spreading 

far and wide 

The Berlin Wall has fallen, there's no need 

to divide 

They walk across a border where many 

tried and failed 

Others died but not in vain, the people 

have prevailed. 

Fighting for their rights 

They toppled the regime 

Pillaged all their riches 

Left them not o thing 

Now they know the feeling 

To reap the seeds they've sewn 

Banished from the living 

When they were overthrown 

How did they feed the enormous greed 

It took to satisfy their needs? 

They drained the country dry 

As thousands had to die 

But now the monarchy is nullified! 

Repeat Chorus
