Drones Disguised as Doves
Drones Disguised as Doves: A Haunting Anthem Against War
Lyrics
Wanting total domination
Expressing a desire for complete control and power
Take control of the other nation
Intention to dominate another nation
Blow the rest to damnnation
Advocating destruction and ruin for the rest
Bring on the annihilation
Calling for widespread destruction and obliteration
Welcome to this world of ours
Introduction to the world and its challenges
Where peace is won through wars
Highlighting the paradox of achieving peace through wars
So much suffering pain and toil
Acknowledging the existence of suffering, pain, and hard work
All this for some oil
Criticizing the sacrifice of lives for the pursuit of oil
Starving our people and bombing theirs
Pointing out the paradox of causing starvation and bombing other nations
People at the top don't fucking care
Highlighting the indifference of those in power
How many trillions will we spend
Raising questions about the massive spending and its purpose
Will this suffering ever end
Expressing doubt about the end of ongoing suffering
No
Emphasizing a negative response to the possibility of relief
Drones disguised as doves
Metaphorically describing destructive military drones as doves
Reign death from above
Describing the lethal consequences of drone warfare
They say they bring peace
Criticizing the false narrative of bringing peace through violence
Yet bloodshed won't cease
Pointing out the contradiction between the claimed peace and the ongoing bloodshed
Drones they drop the bombs
Describing the action of dropping bombs from drones
Til the strange are gone
Continuing the destruction until the perceived threats are eliminated
Gov play the victim
Accusing the government of portraying itself as a victim
Kill for the system
Highlighting the idea of killing in support of the established system
(Kill for the system NOW)
Urgent call to kill for the system
Here we are the final hour
Referring to a critical moment in time
Death machines painted with flowers
Symbolizing deadly machines adorned with deceptive symbols
Blood of the innocent continues to spill
Continued shedding of innocent blood
The US government will continue kill
Assertion that the US government will persist in causing death
Look at the drones they fly so high
Observing the height of drones and their destructive potential
Look at the innocent continue to die
Noting the ongoing tragedy of innocent lives lost
Day by day the bombs will drop
Anticipating the daily occurrence of dropping bombs
What will it take to make it stop
Pleading for a solution to halt the violence
Drones disguised as doves
Reiteration of the metaphor of destructive drones disguised as doves
Reign death from above
Repeating the consequences of drone warfare from above
They say they bring peace
Reiterating the false claim of bringing peace through violence
Yet bloodshed won't cease
Highlighting the persistence of bloodshed despite claimed peace efforts
Planes they drop the bombs
Shifting the focus to conventional planes dropping bombs
Til the strange are gone
Continuing destruction until perceived threats are eliminated
Gov play the victim
Accusing the government of portraying itself as a victim
Kill for the system
Reiterating the idea of killing in support of the established system
(Kill for the system NOW)
Urgent call to kill for the system, emphasizing immediacy
Wanting total domination
Reiteration of the desire for complete control and power
Take control of the other nation
Repeating the intention to dominate another nation
Blow the rest to damnnation
Reiterating the call for destruction and ruin for the rest
Bring on the annihilation
Reiterating the call for widespread destruction and obliteration
