We don't want them, we want everything
And we've stolen in this suffering
And we've told them, to want everything
But use caution in what you believe
And the haunted, deny everything
Controlling endless suffering
They were broken
And lost everything
They're so much easier to lead
Take their hope away
Take their life away
Leave them nothing left inside
When you're old and tired
When there's no more pride
When your soul is frozen
Isn’t that enough?
When your heart is broken
A thousand times
Then every moment is bad enough
We want nothing, we take everything
Undaunted in this suffering
And our forces surround everything
Make it impossible to save
Take their hope away
Take their life away
Leave them nothing left inside
When you're old and tired
When there's no more pride
When your soul is frozen
Isn’t that enough?
When your heart is broken
A thousand times
Then every moment is bad enough
Haven't they suffered enough now!?
Haven't we suffered enough now!?
Haven't they suffered enough!?
The damage more than they can bear!
Haven't they suffered enough now!?
Haven't we suffered enough now!?
Haven't they suffered enough!?
The damage more than I can bear!
Did they even have a reason why?
Countless sons and daughters left to die
Can you even comprehend the pain!?
Tell me…
…When you're old and tired
When there's no more pride
When your soul is frozen
It's bad enough
When your heart is broken
A thousand times
Then every moment is bad enough
And we've stolen in this suffering
And we've told them, to want everything
But use caution in what you believe
And the haunted, deny everything
Controlling endless suffering
And lost everything
They're so much easier to lead
Take their hope away
Take their life away
Leave them nothing left inside
When there's no more pride
When your soul is frozen
Isn’t that enough?
When your heart is broken
A thousand times
Then every moment is bad enough
Undaunted in this suffering
And our forces surround everything
Make it impossible to save
Take their life away
Leave them nothing left inside
When there's no more pride
When your soul is frozen
Isn’t that enough?
When your heart is broken
A thousand times
Then every moment is bad enough
Haven't we suffered enough now!?
Haven't they suffered enough!?
The damage more than they can bear!
Haven't they suffered enough now!?
Haven't we suffered enough now!?
Haven't they suffered enough!?
The damage more than I can bear!
Countless sons and daughters left to die
Can you even comprehend the pain!?
Tell me…
When there's no more pride
When your soul is frozen
It's bad enough
When your heart is broken
A thousand times
Then every moment is bad enough

Oh man, this song almost made me cry.
I hear it as a political song about our government putting down society and keeping them in check. The people at the top don't care about the ridiculous number of deaths for unnecessary war.
The majority of the rich want to keep the wars coming so that the status quo is maintained, and their family tree stays wealthy at the expense of human lives.

I think that this song could also be referencing the holocaust. The lead singer is Jewish.
That was my interpretation exactly.

Sounds like it's talking about the holocaust.
I know that this site is about being subjective, but excuse me if I call Raspo's opinion absolutely ridiculous. You took one line from the song and based the entire meaning of it on something so silly like that, when it's clear the song is talking about the awful government in this country. And if that is wrong, then at least I was probably closer than you.
As a Jew, I can really relate this song to the hollocaust. I really think this is what the song is singing about, but does anyone know where I can find what David has to say about it? This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
According to vocalist David Draiman, the song's meaning is a message to the world leaders. Letting them know about the pain they caused by all the people who have fought and died in war and asking them, "Isn't death alone a good enough reason to stop all of this conflict?"
this song almost made me cry too. the chorus is so heartbreaking. and i think kingpum is correct on the meaning
the chorus> the soldiers losing their family and friends, with so many people dying every day hence the - when your heart is broken a thousand times.

we dong want them we want eveerything and weve stolen, in this suffering and weve told them to want everything but use caution in what you believe and the haunted deny everything controling, in this suffering when theyre broken and lost everything theyre so much easier to lead
take their hope away take their life away leave them nothing left inside

if one or two words were wrong, i wouldnt be surprised, because his handwriting is a bit difficult to read, but im almost 100% sure this is correct.
