Lyrics

I can see beneath the veil
And the curtain of hypocrisy
The hidden nature of things

Get rid of your old perception
And you'll behold a world in decrepitude
Controlled by unseen hands

Geniuses of camouflage
Dwarves on pedestals
Lead the throng with a perfid tongue
And a sardonic sneer

You must read between the lines
To find out what their treacherous words hide..

"We are right and they are wrong
They are weak and we are strong
For freedom's sake we attack
And wipe the blood of our foes with a flag
Come by my side, reveal your patriotic pride
We hold the hammer of justice
Sacrosanct keepers of purity
We need more lives to feed the machine..
We have to win, by any mean
In blood we trust, there is no choice
The planet is overpopulated
It's our duty to clean it up
Some sub humans deserve to die
That's why I opt for a gentle genocide..
To secure peace is to prepare for war..."

And it goes on and on, the american way of lie
An utopia sold to the fools who follow a false idol
During that time, the gears of power grind peoples
But silent slaughters don't disturb one's sleep

I'm part of an ill generation whose forehead
Bear the stigmata of fictive revolutions
But my hands are tied and I'm mute
Chocking with my own despair

The plain red of these curtains is clotted scabs and dried bloodstains
It's so clear, can't you hear the human tragedy which is played?

A supreme terror spreads in the shadows
The dunes resound with a million screams
Geyser of tears erupt from the burning ground
As skeleton nations march for vengeance
