Stand against the sky 
Force reasons to die 
Till [bad word] 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  [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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
