Outer Rings

We'd better respect

This land and reflect

On how we plant the seed

And grown inherent defect

The conductor has been hailed

Even though decisions failed

Another life, another train has been derailed

Take cover, game over

Sitting in the outer rings

And running for our lives

Start running, they're coming

Now put 'em in a body bag and ship 'em to their wives

With nothing in our wake we make the same mistake

With no resources left to save

Sickened from our water still we can't accept the blame

Too weak to hold our heads in shame

Ashamed, we can't be saved

It's insane, too late

We seal our fate

Drowning in the chaos and the flames that we create

Glorify defeat

And the story's incomplete

Put your head between your knees

And watch your history repeat

Call off the forces

Prepare the horses

A good days work now carry out the corpses

So clear another path

And recreate the past

Burn 'em to the ground another bomb another blast

They throw a stone we launch a boulder from our home

But live in houses made of glass

We live without a fear

We think we're free and clear

And now the time is here to face the facts

Under attack, so don't look back

It's insane, too late

We seal our fate

Drowning in the chaos and the flames that we create

Glorify defeat

And the story's incomplete

Put your head between your knees

And watch your history repeat
