Lyrics
In the wake of a comprehensive blow
Delivered to the base of human order
By free-willed actors in a just populace
Would we learn our lesson or double down?
A code red for humanity assessed in its urgency as a lullaby
As the sun is swallowed up the smoke signals an incoming drone
Amid the flooding, the ruins
The frantic gestures to empathy and survival
The war god rears his head overtop shells and arrows
Those of us who were told to play along are thrust into combat
Lifetimes of promise the economic plus is worth it
Sights aimed at opponents we'd rather break bread with
The war god slowly nods overtop shells and arrows
Let's give ourselves something to be proud of before it's too late
What the fuck are we waiting for?
Warfare and collapse ain't inevitable
What better time to turn the course than with survival in limbo?
I don't want our only home
The land we know as sacred
Sacrificed to make room for uninhabitable wasteland
