you send us out there with no plan
I follow blindly just to be like a man
we ride machines in your name
you soak in sunlight sucking on sugar cane

now it's coming down
now it's coming down for you
now it's coming home
now it's coming home to roost

a mother watched us from her bed
you paid for every piece of lead in her head
her children looked up to the sun
could hear our engines burn but they didn't run

now it's coming down
now it's coming down for you
now it's coming home
now it's coming home to roost

all the smoke and flame
under endless blame
they were just like us
in their god they trust

now it's coming down
now it's coming down for you
now it's coming home
now it's coming home to roost

all the tractor treads
over rolling heads
they were just like us
in their god they trust

my money down
my axe to grind
my rented space
my borrowed time
your hired hands
your slice of pie

your destiny : my lease on life
your tyranny : my lease on life
I've got no place to go
win place or show

my razor wire
my ball and chain
your shining seas
your golden gate

your destiny : my lease on life
your tyranny : my lease on life
I've got no one to know
just Kum & Go

your holy war and my three fates
I manifest your empire state

your destiny : my lease on life
your tyranny : my lease on life
I've got no one to show
I've got no one to know
come and go

it feels right now to let the spires fall
it feels right now to spread out the salt

we project into your minds
comfort in our watching eye
we must pacify your clones
our protection in your homes

your world will never be the same
we'll keep you safe in freedom's name

fire, fire, fires inside

you lose and then you fall apart
your fathers' work will never start
we believe in what we've done
providence will never come

your world will never be the same
we'll keep you safe in freedom's name
falling through ashes and the flame
we'll keep you safe in freedom's name

lies, lies, lies inside your minds
fire, fire inside

if you would open up your eyes
then all the stars would realign

the hills are milky white

my heart is in your hand
they go inside your head
my mind has opened wide
their lies will close your eyes

your eyes
your eyes could see
the hills are milky white

oh why deny the lines
when will we see the sky
they fly the metal air
your hand covers your eyes

your eyes
your eyes simply see
the hills are milky white

they're spraying more tonight
we'll breathe the smoke and light
I'd love to see the blue
but the hills are milky white

I am the liar and the only one
I am the father of my only son
I've forgotten what I never become
I know it's over but I never begun
remember the future
and I won
remember the future
and it's gone
open all the wounds
where there were none
three birds and a stone

now I'm singing to myself

I know

you know who I am
you know where I live
I know what you are
I know what you want
I know what you'll do
I see right through you
I hear you inside
I know you'll decide
I know what to do
I know I will see you

I'll get my gun

I know
