Lyrics

Zealot, extreme believer
That your cause is just
Reading between the lines
On weapons of distrust
Spoken words are ammunition
For the martyr heart
Twist the meaning
Righteous seeming
Shape your endless war

Soldier, you choose your targets
Judge them through your sights
Murder the murderer
Two wrongs will make a right
Follow the whispered order
Deep inside your brain
Vengeance for stillborn souls
Unable to be saved

Believe in a dream
See what you want to see
Preach an ageless hate
Tears that you bleed
Through a mask of false sympathy
Fulfill your empty fate

Healer, both life and death
Shaped by your slight of hand
Feeding the notion that
You are more god than man
Gamble your fame and fortune
A bullet's game of chance
Profit from poisoned veins
And thrive on violence

Sustained by pain and bitterness
Is no way to live
Drowned in the spin of ignorance
Nothing left to give

The victors write the history
Then kill the messenger
Instead of bettering their lives
They fight to make ours worse

Martyr, you've been deceived
A pawn in this crusade
Patriot fatality
A grave without a name
