Hurt Locker

I am a product of what state controls
We emerge from the fog of war
Stalk, with weapons in our hands, but not our land
Patrol
We liberate by force

Indiscriminate targeting
Civilian casualties
No mercy as the chaos breeds
Endless waves of suffering
I can't take this fucking misery

Take me to a better day
Forgive all my mistakes or
Tear me apart
Cut out my heart
Ruin me
Extinguish

I suffer the cost of all your lies

Consumed with shame
Violence done in peace's name
Propaganda wipes my slate clean
Disgust

I walk a darkened path of disillusionment

Pushing me to the edge until I
Finally fucking break

I am freed from the killing machine
Where the corpses rot and the maggots feast
For the people I swore to defend
I will bring your reign to its end
Slit the throats of tyrants and the kings
Fulfil my dream of liberty
Until my ideals retreat
And our history repeats

Guns fire, explosions roar
This is the start of it all
We don't know what we're fighting for
Then we emerge from the fog of war
