Lyrics
Close your eyes and serve the greater good
Encourages closing one's eyes and contributing to a higher purpose.
Flout the lies and pay your tax in blood
Reject deceitful narratives and make sacrifices for societal obligations.
Idols lead the way to war but I won't follow
Rejects blindly following leaders into war despite the influence of idols.
Screams fall silent
Describes a moment when the cries and protests become muted.
Endless grief
Portrays an ongoing state of profound sorrow and distress.
Lead the way but I won't follow
Resists being led by others, even in the face of pressure.
Get ready for a war of stubbornness
Anticipates a conflict driven by stubbornness and persistence.
Of ghost lights in the dark
References mysterious and elusive lights in the darkness.
These false hopes and the oath you swore were never meant to last
Reflects on broken promises and false expectations that were never enduring.
Justify the body count exploit the weak willed
Questions the morality of justifying casualties and exploiting the easily influenced.
If only they could see
Expresses a desire for others to comprehend a hidden truth.
Tomorrow is lost in their blood covered hands
Foresees a bleak future tainted by the actions of those responsible for bloodshed.
But the blinded thrive on pain and misery
Comments on the paradoxical thriving of those who remain unaware of their suffering.
I won't follow
Reiterates the refusal to blindly follow others despite challenges.
Taken all that I love some things you can't replace
Expresses the loss of cherished things that cannot be replaced.
Misanthropy and ignorance leave ashes in their wake
Connects a disdain for humanity and ignorance with destructive consequences.
Justify the body count exploit the weak willed
Repeats the criticism of justifying harm and taking advantage of the vulnerable.
If only they could see
Restates a plea for others to perceive a hidden reality.
Tomorrow is lost in their blood covered hands
Reiterates the anticipation of a grim future shaped by bloodshed.
But the blinded thrive on pain and misery
Reaffirms the paradoxical endurance of suffering for the unaware.
I won't follow
Confirms the resolve to resist blind conformity despite adversity.
Close your eyes and serve a greater good
Recalls the encouragement to contribute to a greater cause by closing one's eyes.
Flout the lies and pay your tax in blood
Reiterates the call to reject deceptive narratives and make sacrifices for society.
Idols lead the way to war but I won't follow
Rejects following idols into war, maintaining independence of thought.
Screams fall silent
Repeats the depiction of silenced screams and enduring suffering.
Endless grief
Reiterates the portrayal of a state of continuous profound sorrow and distress.
Lead the way but I won't follow
Affirms the determination to resist being led, even in the face of suffering.
