lyrics

Diplomats with vested interest
They seem to start what others finish
Blood drunk with unknown power
Let the bombs drop on thee 11th hour
Turn on the news and watch at 7
Watch them feed us what we need
Seduce the peoples violent urge
To sit back and watch the others burn

Let the holy war continue longer
And lead millions more into the slaughter
Remove the head and the beast will die
End religion and unify
Blood runs thicker than water
And profit out weighs people
So they say fuck the world just let it burn
As long as there's a cent left to earn

Under table diplomats
Death to foreign innocence
It stays the same we never learn
Like history, it's just our turn
Media sells what we all buy
Make the killing justified
Turn off the news and the violence is gone
For the some the nightmare goes on

When is enough?
When does it stop?
When does it end?
And what was it worth?

As for me I've seen the light
Seen leaders preach and peasants fight
I've seen the truth for what it is
Armageddon is soon to begin
Light the match, spark the flame
The woven web of who's to blame
And when there's nothing left to earn
Is when the final Martyr will be born

Under table diplomats
Death to foreign innocence
It stays the same we never learn
Like history, it's just our turn
Media sells what we all buy
Make the killing justified
Turn off the news and the violence is gone
For the some the nightmare goes on

When is enough?
When does it stop?
When does it end?
And what was it worth?

I won't be your martyr
I won't be your slave
