lyrics

And if it seems that sometimes we revere the predator
‘Come to the looking glass as I explain my weak link metaphor
Amidst a tightening vice grip
Adrift in an endless sea
We look to our leaders to help us
...we trust them gradually

I’ve added all the factors — I’ve found the common theme
I can reduce this improper world to it’s LCD
and if the average suffers
and if the plan falls through
and if the promise is broken
chaos reigns and I will too!

And through the years I’ve heard them complaining bitterly
but still they offer the sacrificial lamb greedily
alone with fire & brimstone
atone to a killing god
I watch as their mighty have fallen
I laugh at their pantheon

On to the reason I’ve come here describing policy
as your society crumbles make my mark and hear me finally
I offer lasting protection
I offer all that’s good
If you just cast down your weapons
and follow me in brotherhood

How many ways can I say this so you will understand
that we all fight for the same cause at home and in a foreign land
we must end all of the violence
at others and ourselves
that our religions provide as tools to reach their godly hell

The band has released 42 albums since 1987. ... more
