[Intro]
Sirens in the static
Marching boots in 4/4 time
Names on a glowing screen
Counting down the firing line
[Verse 1]
Steel rain
Falling over dead code
Dust clings
To a tattered flagpole
I see
Children on the live feed
Muted
While the markets stampede
[Chorus]
This is war in a world of wires
Ashes in the circuit
Baptized in fire
Turn the crosshair into a mirror
Tell me
Soldier
Who do you see getting nearer?
This is war
And the war gets nearer
[Verse 2]
Black smoke
Rising from the phone towers
Blue glow
On the bunker walls
Thumbprint
Signing off a thousand lives
One click
And another city stalls
[Breakdown 1]
(teeth grit)
Left
Right
Left
Right
Sink in the mud
Blood on the boots
But it’s scrubbed from the flood
Hands wash clean while the river runs red
Targets acquired
Then the target is dead
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[complete band silence
Dead air on record for full section length]
[Breakdown 2]
[low vocal register]
Grind the bones
Into pixel dust
Raise your flag
On a rusted husk
No more gods
Only broadcast lies
If this is peace
Why does everything die?
[Breakdown 2]
