1.
Stealth eagle eye surveys the land A strike soon takes place on command From bunkers half the world away The CIA conducts its game Airborne assassination raids Out of range, mechanical vultures lay waste Armed to kill with impunity Subversion of combat convention Violation of sovereignty Collateral damage done, the dead burn in 'no capture' zones Slay civilians aimlessly With no accountability The threats concealed identities Each strike creates new enemies The future of covert war can't be lost or won
2.
Install our regime- take full control, run their machines Empire of blood, oil and greed The towers collapse, a dictator's statue in the ash We burned down their haystacks A million needles drowning in the Gulf Fund their wars, supply arms, spill their blood Plant our flag when regions clash A fool's mire, chasing shadows of the ones martyred in reaction Scorch, blaze, this hot desert storm invades Torch, cremate, commence fire The massacre returns, fleeting bridges won't un-burn Fictions of the carnage camouflage the deeper wounds The blood concealed from the news The oil floods away the truth Sanctioned starvation, calculated pre-emptive attack Fragmented nation, retaliation born from ash
3.
A vast divide breeding social decay A time of unrest, an age of outrage Dissidence grows in the hearts of man The powers that be, corrupt from the inside out Crumbling within, see our era fade Cracking at the seams, mouths held agape The pendulum swings, no one has a say The tipping of the scales, now it's time to pay Hideous symmetry, no matter what you choose to believe It's hideous symmetry An exercise in futility The world must rest from horrors we bestowed So let the palaces fall, the poison elite The American dream burnt into ashes We march head on into our fucking graves Accelerate apocalypse, no one will be saved
4.
Could this well be the beginning of the end of humanity? Will we be alive for the final human day? The hollowed-out, incinerated remains of humanity give way to Earth's embrace The thaw begets a new ice age The sixth extinction We won't be saved, we'll be here when it breaks We'll be swept up in the flames We are solely to blame We are the final born in this terminal century Our abolition awakens in my dreams A burned-out shell of our species history The remnants of Earth's deadliest disease
5.
I saw the light in your eyes die, the pain, it speaks in volumes Crushed into dust, your shattered soul bereft of all lust, A husk, a hollow man casting feeble shade from circumstance Psychic poisons consuming you, let this parasite rule you, blood haunted Thriving on addiction, weaken through attrition, total degradation Slave unto the master, impaled upon it's talons, A living corpse you'll always be, blood haunted Rot internally out on the streets Usurped, mental collapse, wasting away No tears will ever be shed for your darkened vice The price has already been paid, you're out of time
6.
Sharp corners puncturing the mind Boxed-in isolation asphyxiating instinct to survive Courting absolute surrender Temptation of a quick release Coil the rope around your neck Slash the razor, jump the ledge Final breath, inhale the lead The architect of your own death Desolate hostage left behind The corners closing in, constricting at the pace of time
7.
Succumb to the current Or jump the roof of this burning building screaming This chasm at the core Is a vacuum that swallows whole Echoes roar To this horrid world, let me never be reborn Let me burn, or face the flood In a thousand rays of sun, let me be charred On the cold ocean floor, let me remain sunk At time's door
8.
How high are the flames Burning on the horizon What hope still remains Senseless and helpless Four walls constricting closer Action all in vain The dearth of real compassion has led us to this moment The cauldron overflows with hate We've come to crush your idols Relics of tainted judgment The judges must accept the blame Extricate yourself from shame Fools can't see through the veil Time marches on and so do we Boots on the faces of our foes How high your horses used to be Hubris collapsing ideology Cowards ring out their names in praise Traitorous worms who have no place Suffocating darkness Perpetual madness We're drowning in virtue Echoing in emptiness
9.
Torch 02:07
Extremist views, domestic hostilities Brainwashed youth with fractured ideologies Wage war to reclaim a history their forefathers stole Grasping for somewhere else to lay their blame The Right marches, they light their torches Xenophobic campaign targets rage Haunted by specters of slave-owning ancestors Their shame sows the origins of hate Their bigotry begets blood Freedom of speech under assault "Fine people" on both sides engage In their defeat they'll be replaced
10.
To be in control of human life To get to choose who lives and who must die A select one-thousand dead could keep our species in order If we could get away with murder We've re-flattened the Earth and are overcrowding it to the point where we are falling off the ends A select one-thousand dead could save the lives of generations to come They wind the clock of our demise As we soon swim the high tides And choke on winds of fire The roaches reclaim and re-arise
