Let the Flames Rise

Life is a ticking clock, someday the bomb will drop
That will be the end of it all
Shock and awe is coming back, to defend is to attack
Freedom is always first to fall

Let the flames rise, high as the sky
Ashes rain onto the ground
Rewrite the scene, torch the slate clean
The truth has yet to be found

Pledge allegiance to the flag, just another useless rag
Wrapped around a loaded gun
They know what's best for you, one is red and the other one blue
In business for themselves

Let the flames rise, high as the sky
Ashes rain onto the ground
Rewrite the scene, torch the slate clean
The truth has yet to be found

Hands up please don't shoot, don't you know that the point is moot
When the law's not on camera
Got no reason I've got no rhyme, now I'm running out of time
The end is drawing near

Let the flames rise, high as the sky
Ashes rain onto the ground
Rewrite the scene, torch the slate clean
The truth has yet to be found
