In a face, a view, through eyes this world collides I am voiceless in my angst and nothing can take us Back to innocence Short, sharp, bloodlust, reality In despair I reach for night In water purity reigns to be resolute As a land we clean our minds, reap our belongings Sow our angers and our strengths All too obsessed by weakness we have brought ourselves to meaninglessness So easy to control, bring to harm A gathering of fools unjustified, on a mountain I collect my thoughts And I rise above all that despises me Comprehend the ways of man And under a flag we salute or burn There is blood on both shores With hardened mind I traveled With hardened heart I conquered A freedom so ironic, so despicable, so hypocritical
There is anger resolute Rears its familiar head on the TV screen In a dozen bags a life was placed In a breath he smiled and waved Five minutes at a time the power held true Without consternation our laws are lost Lost to butchers, lost to child killers, lost to narcotic ritual Another tag, another headline Another smiling photograph shall stay ten winters long forever
And where are the angels to guard? Where is the God of men and children? He is stalking the minds of dark poor souls And I know it's right 'cause I know it's time for freedom: To kill another, and to kill another, and to kill another child of the flag till there are none left And another, and to kill another, and to kill another
