1.Fragile Peace
作詞:Mark Anthony Garza, Andrew Haston Godwin, Nick Nowell, Jon
Richardson
A grinding narrative set on a razor's edge
The culmination of a lifetime
It stutters to a stop then crumbles into ruins
Bones held up by wire
You don't put the gun in your mouth
Because you like the way that it tastes
It's a testament to the will of man
And the progress we have made
In a sense we've done our best
To lay it all to waste
So cavalier and so secure
Dressed in our Sunday finest
A debt we all must pay
Bit by bit by agonizing
Pieces of ourselves
To warlords and profiteers
All huddled in dark masses
Xenophobes and killers
Commercialized regret
Manufactured in the falsest
Pretense of sorrow
Those wretched fools, you'll think
All huddled in dark masses, ripe for the taking
Sycophants and slaves
Bone soaked in blurry tears
The matted gray of ashes, a liturgy on our failings
Choke down a Eucharist of flesh and tiny blood
To find a fragile, fleeting peace
Crawl back from whence you came, tormentors
Lie in the bed that you have made, suffer the fools in silence
Let your actions speak for themselves
Because actions speak for themselves
2.The Crown & The Holy See
作詞:Mark Anthony Garza, Andrew Haston Godwin, Nick Nowell, Jon
Richardson
Who is the father of the son of man
And to what has he given birth?
A thousand little lies to pave the way
Leading to what we have become
Building nation states
Theocracies by extension of strength
Bow to the powers that be
Be they that of the crown or of the Holy See
The threat of indoctrination
Is the most dangerous of them all
Who is the father of the son of man
And to what has he given birth?
A thousand little lies to pave the way
Leading to what we have become
Brace for what comes next
From the military industrial complex
A modern day crusade
These colors don't run but they do tend to fade
A line too thin to measure
Between the two hands on our throats
The greater and the lesser
Of the devils we know
Enough of the cowards
Enough of the thieves
Enough of the tyrants
There is no reprieve
The threat of indoctrination
Is the most dangerous of them all
