songs of war
Moving along the assembly line of society
Becoming another piece of the machinery
You are expendable
The wars go on for years
You are replaceable
Just so many circuits and gears
Abomination of nature
Blasphemy of creation
The plagues now take their toll
Lessons in germ warfare
Cut out infected organs
Replace them with machinery
Our leaders are all playing God
Now we are running out of what we’ve got
They need a soldier that never dies
In a future that’s a little less civilized
Birds of prey fill the air
Sent to cleanse with rains of fire
In ivory towers with marble stairs
In front of TV walls sit billionaires
Live footage of the battles is always on the air
All those years spent going to school
Mind your manners, follow the rules
Don’t you step out of line
Getting nowhere, running out of time
Round and round we go
Spinning on our solar star
Picking up the pace
Final evolution of the human race
See the glow of the burning cites
In the distant evening sky
Hear the fighting getting closer
Fulfill your program, kill all that is alive
The will to kill is your only memory
Whose brain is behind those eyes?
For your crimes against society
We have a new death penalty
Take out your identity
Replace your brain with control circuitry
Birds of prey fill the air
Sent to cleanse with rains of fire
Chemicals fall from a smoke-filled sky
Freezing your lungs, melting your eyes
Blistering your skin but you’ll never die
It was then that I could see
All earth creatures will be extinct
Killed by the one with the mechanical brain
Killed by the beast called human being
Close the door and don’t go back
There is no way I’ll go back that way
Lock the door, lose the key
It’s not for you, not for me...
Don’t go down that path again
There is nothing there for us, my friend
There is what is and what should never be...
Lies!
Hate!
Greed!
Birds of prey!
