Mercenary

This is a time of machines
War driven bastards that spread disease
World power levered by burning trees
A new order? We've become so naive
My years have known better
Young eyes deceived by the scarlet letter

Mercenary, is all you've ever been
Mercenary, a world adorned in sin
Mercenary, ignite the fire again
Mercenary, now pull the fucking pin

I never wanted this to end
Deliver us from evil, our plastic friends
We never look back, only forward
A habit learned from a life of squalor
Your talk is cheap
Crush the head of beast
In front of all who weep
We are all grazing sheep
It's the gold rush, and we're in it
Like a black lung, we've got the sickness

A greed so strong it'll shut off the lights
Let forest burn down in the blink of an eye
If hell could freeze over, it would look like this
If we could be sober, we would see the end
If your vice is death
You might just have Uncle Sam in your head

If hell could freeze
This all goes unsaid
If we could be
Because we're already dead

Mercenary, is all you've ever been
Mercenary, a world adorned in sin
Mercenary, ignite the fire again
Mercenary, now pull the fucking pin
Mercenary, is all you've ever been
Mercenary, a world adorned in sin
Mercenary, ignite the fire again
Mercenary, now pull the fucking pin
