Foundations To Burn
Let's step back for a moment
Let's just pause, just for a minute
And think through the implications of our actions today
So that this does not spiral out of control
(As we are, let us not become the people that we reject)
Justify, as if it were our right to say
Now decide
Which liar you trust and which one chose our fate
Fed in time as a choice we think we're making
It's the guns that we know versus the guns we never will
When illusions burn, where will we be left standing?
Still with the guns that we know versus the guns we never will
Pacify, with false hope of safety within
Never mind
They were never there, where could we begin?
Fed in time as a choice we think we're making
It's the guns that we know versus the guns we never will
When illusions burn, where will we be left standing?
Still, with the guns that we know versus the guns we never will!
We call upon god for which killing's permitted
And then brag out loud that our side made the grade
We better pray, with this as our position
Our wrongs don't come back and burn us down to the ground!
And what gives us the right to judge without reprisal?
To strike retaliation and wash our hands of blood
And who gave us the crown to claim that we're divine?
Without needing repentance and drive them into hell
Fed in time as a choice we think we're making
It's the guns that we know versus the guns we never will
When illusions burn, where will we be left standing?
It's the devil that we know versus the devil that we kill!
The devil that we kill!
That we kill!
The stations of our will!
Fulfilled!
