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
