Lyrics

I am a product of what state controls

I am a product of government control, influenced by state authority.

We emerge from the fog of war

We come out of the confusion and chaos of war.

Stalk, with weapons in our hands, but not our land Patrol

We move stealthily, armed but not on our own territory; we patrol.

We liberate by force

We achieve liberation through the use of force.

Indiscriminate targeting Civilian casualties

We engage in indiscriminate targeting, causing harm to civilians.

No mercy as the chaos breeds Endless waves of suffering

In the resulting chaos, there is no mercy, leading to endless suffering.

I can’t face this misery

I cannot confront this intense suffering and hardship.

Take me to a better day forgive all my mistakes or

Take me to a better time, forgive my errors, or...

Tear me apart Cut out my heart Ruin me Extinguish

Tear me apart, cut out my heart, ruin me, extinguish.

I suffer the cost of all your lies

I endure the consequences of your deceit and falsehoods.

Consumed with shame by violence waged in peace’s name Propaganda wipes my slate clean

Overwhelmed with shame due to violence carried out in the name of peace; propaganda erases my guilt.

Disgust

A feeling of intense repugnance and disapproval.

I walk a darkened path of disillusionment

I navigate a path filled with disappointment and shattered illusions.

Pushing me to the edge Until I finally fucking break

Pushed to the brink until I finally collapse or give in.

I am freed from the killing machine

I am released from the machinery of killing.

where the corpses rot and the maggots feast For the people I swore to defend

In a place where bodies decay, and maggots feed, for the people I pledged to protect.

I will bring your reign to its fucking end

I will bring an end to your rule and authority.

Slit the throats of tyrants and the kings Fulfil my dream of liberty

Violently eliminate oppressive leaders and rulers, fulfilling the dream of freedom.

Until my ideals retreat

Until my ideals withdraw, and our history repeats.

and our history repeats

As the cycle continues, and historical patterns replay.

Guns fire, explosions roar

Guns fire, explosions roar; the beginning of it all.

this is the start of it all

This marks the commencement of the conflict.

We don’t know what we’re fighting for Then we emerge from the fog of war

We are uncertain about the cause we are fighting for until emerging from the fog of war.
