Great Leap Forward
Unveiling the Cost of Ideals
Lyrics
Standing for something with
Advocating for a cause with genuine strength and sincerity
True strenght and heart
Emphasizing the importance of true strength and heart in the cause
But the old manifesto has splintered apart
Acknowledging that the old manifesto supporting the cause has fragmented
Driven from homes to the depths of despair
People displaced from their homes and facing profound despair
Hear the cries of the innocent
Hearing the cries of the innocent affected by the cause
Ring through the air
The cries of the innocent resonate in the air
Genocide a new class warfare
Describing genocide as a form of new class warfare
Pushed aside to make all the people one
People marginalized to create a homogenous society
Drop dead because freedom's a cancer
Suggesting that pursuing freedom can lead to negative consequences, like death
And state-sponsored terror's
State-sponsored terror is replacing traditional land reform
The new land reform
Comparing state-sponsored terror to a new form of land reform
Blinded by pride and national impulse
Blinded by national pride and impulsive actions
Weaned on the doctrines of Lenin and Marx
Indicating an upbringing influenced by the ideologies of Lenin and Marx
A blood red scar on the new face of China
A symbolic scar, represented in blood red, on the new face of China
Exploding like tinder too close to the spark
Warning about potential explosive consequences due to ideological proximity
This time it's genocide
Referring to the current situation as genocide
And the terror comes from within
Highlighting that the terror originates from within the country
Nobody's safe from the latest wave
No one is safe from the latest wave of terror
As the new republic's in
Describing the state of the new republic
We'll do away with agrarian notions
Rejecting traditional agricultural ideas
Bleed the population into fear
Inflicting fear upon the population to control them
You can't stop our populist expansion
Emphasizing the unstoppable expansion of populist ideals
Because you've got no freedoms here
Stating the lack of freedoms in the current context
