Us against ourselves
As the subliminal message
Divide the masses in two
When you find logic in violence
Scorched earth tactics
As seen throughout history
When on top of the pedestal
Everything seems permitted
All hail the grudge machine
We watch you fly high 'til the opinion swings
Oh the things you'll do for gold and green
While the eleventh-hour kicks in
Everlasting consumption
As a measure of freedom
You only speak when spoken to
As shapeless silhouettes
The drowning force is immense
Tears at your fragile core
Drag us down in your battle
You'll find us all in potter's field
All hail the grudge machine
We watch you fly high 'til the opinion swings
Oh the things you'll do for gold and green
While the eleventh-hour kicks in
False messiah, all self-defined
No substance, nothing in between the lines
You get what you see, full-on decline
So you better just smile and wave
The innocent, the enemy
Face the burning sky
A life once lived, a hope once held
Nothing more for us to keep
Weigh the worth through suffering
Pile bodies mountains high
The end for me, the end for thee
Is two-foot-wide, six foot deep
All hail the grudge machine
We watch you fly high 'til the opinion swings
Oh the things you'll do for gold and green
While the eleventh-hour kicks in
False messiah, all self-defined
No substance, nothing in between the lines
You get what you see, full-on decline
So you better just smile and wave
