Shockwave in the suburbs of the Empire, The twin towers collapse, a glimpse of apocalypse, 30 seconds and the face of the world has changed
Scorched earth policy applied on US ground Achilles' heel touched irremediably And the giant chokes in the ashes of his dreams
Security increased and paranoia swells Vengeance sharpened its claws We need a scapegoat, a scarecrow, a symbol
A symbol of Hate and its horrid sequels A scarecrow to incarnate our secrete nightmare A scapegoat to charge and judge without appeal
But, there's a but, eye for an eye is a law that makes the world blind There's an enemy and a victim, but the victim soon becomes the enemy
Chorus: Who wages the war, and who pulls the strings? Hidden murderers, suit and tie criminals Who wages the war, and who pulls the strings? Don't be fooled by their weapons of mass distraction
Don't misunderstand our critic of the conflict, We stand for nuance, doubt and judgement Our point of view: there's no Good and Evil in such a war No one-way terrorism, no heroic excuse for murder
The circumstances were perfect for the capitalistic untouchables To instigate a New War Order To implant monster corporations in hostile lands To pump the black gold right from the veins of the Middle East
Shockwave at the heart of dissidence Innocent civilians in the eye of the storm Western reprisals take aim at the wrong target
The besieged crave to prove their firepower To an invader of this stature The jihad seems a suitable response
But, there's a but, eye for an eye is a law that makes the world blind There's an enemy and a victim, but the victim soon becomes the enemy
Chorus: Who wages the war, and who pulls the strings? Hidden murderers, suit and tie criminals Who wages the war, and who pulls the strings? Don't be fooled by their weapons of mass distraction
Who wages the war, and who pulls the strings? Hidden murderers, suit and tie criminals Who wages the war, and who pulls the strings? Don't be fooled by their weapons of mass distraction
