She once held open the golden door
for all those who needed rest
She stood for something so much more
a memory buried deep in our chest
Now sentinels watch our every move
and their lies pit brother against brother
For finally when the war was over
we traded one Magneto for another
It's been this scratched and broken record
since as far back as I can see
That every time we won a war
we only lost who we fought to be
That every time we found a cure
we just became the next infected
That while supermen may die for us
it's Lex Luthors that get elected
If the goal was really peace and love
we most certainly have failed
For a long train of usurpation's
alone is steaming down the rail
That locomotive never slacks
with the end of liberty ahead
We have little time to change our tracks
we must or else the damsel is dead
