Face covered, hands tied,
Your master he lied.
War mongers and atomic fucks,
Disguised behind mask and tux.
What if I told you, you where blindfolded?
Would you lose control or just be herded?
Like a million before you and even more to come,
like a shot of knowledge from a smoking gun.
Keeping you in a state of affliction,
while they bite the hand that feeds.
Smoke lingers, bridges burned to nothing but ashes.
Backhands to keep their name clean,
they’ll see the dawn of a new day,
No comprehension.
And your guts are torn and your head is screaming.
(You feel) guilty for going against all you thought you knew,
they’re not asking for, they are taking from you.
With a tourniquet of fencing wire and broken glass,
The pressure lets you know that it can’t last.
One move and it’s straight through the jugular.
You have never seen a sin, like a .22 calibre grin.
Like a million before you and even more to come,
like a shot of knowledge from a smoking gun.
