War Theatre

Dissidents must tear away
From scenarios that have decayed
into a lie... dignified

A poisoned culture cultivates
A seed that must manipulate
Or cause to change... a world deranged
War theatre

Puppets hanging on silver strings
Bring the house down to its knees
Cold comedy... true tragedy

Travelling circus that never ends
Catch it all on CNN
Kill the spore... the seed of war
War theatre

Voice of millions in a blur
Stumbling upon the earth
Pointing fingers, naming names
Playing tricks & playing games

Travelling circus that never ends
Catch it all on CNN
Kill the spore... the seeds of war
We are malfunctioning
Just like the parts of your machine
War theatre

Voice of millions in a blur
Stumbling upon the earth
Pointing fingers, naming names
Playing tricks & playing games

Now, I lay me down to sleep
Vipers at my feet
Pray to God that I awake
Parts in an invisible machine
Clairvoyant & damned to dream
If parts collide or coincide
Why would a maniac shatter the dream
For a horrid profit it seems
Which isn't much when the world is dust
Now, I lay me down to sleep
The nightmare is at my feet
Pray to God that I awake... no mistake
