Stand against the sky   Force reasons to die   Till boots come untied   You'll try to believe his lie   Built beyond the archetype   Trick yourself into the fight   The soot and gun hide the night   Convince yourself that it's right   Master warhead puppetry   Undeserving idolatry   Inner circle loyalty   Make them flee their own country      Boy of the surge   Compliance won't make you a man   Now you've deciphered   The secret written in the sand      Now you understand   What rests in your hands   Clear and hold the land   By killing another man   Whose safety do you fight for?   Admit that you can't ignore   You don't trust those keeping score   Write letters to reassure   Gunshot rationality   Just a casual casualty   Just part of the strategy   But you're not setting them free      Sing of fires Sing of will   Sing to justify to kill
