about

Our pissed off Social Commentary with narrated battlefield intro. This song focuses on world gone awry and civil decay. Big anthem choruses that compare our civil decline to that of fallen empires.

lyrics

Narrator -

…and many of us have pondered the question, how is it that we have come to this apocalyptic time where we are destroying all that we, along with all of our predecessors before us have built.
Our great nation’s children have lost all sense of morality while our borders are being over-run by those of religious zealotry.
The vassals and lords who govern have been purchased and have sold our nation’s future and security and are no different than the common thief in the marketplace.
From within our own borders the evil that we combat is enslaved to its own device’s and has a face that has no God, No patriarch, No trade or vocation, no learned knowledge, no respect for life or neighbor, and no redeeming moral code.
We have bore witness to the de-evolution of an organized society from one that has a disdain for authority, to one that has a complete and utter hatred for all things civil and good.
It sadly comes into question…
Are we at war with one another, or are we at war with ourselves?

Hear the sirens sound
As it all comes crashing down
The Empire Collapses from within
As the apocalypse begins
Reduced to fear and control
This nations lost its heart and soul
Reduced to rubble and ash
Like the great empires of the past

This fucking world has turned into a garbage can
Societies destruction is fashioned by our own two hands
lawless bands of thieves pillage the urban wasteland
there's no turning back, its more than we can withstand
Rampant addiction and overflowing prisons
Killing random people for your gang or your religion
Rape the middle class with bad political decisions
All set the stage for an imminent cataclysm
Laws are being passed that hinder the weak
Removing the sense of security that we all seek
The cycle of urban violence has become too large to ignore
Now Martial law is here and is knocking on your door
Society’s problems are compound and widespread
But contemplate the consequence of your bloodshed
Are you the face of the new rebellion?
Do you represent progress or civil degradation?
Anarchy’s amiss but is it well thought out?
How will you get the food from the farm to your mouth?
Who will lead the people that refuse to be led?
Who will restore order after the streets run red?

Hear the sirens sound
As it all comes crashing down
The Empire Collapses from within
As the apocalypse begins
Reduced to fear and control
This nations lost its heart and soul
Reduced to rubble and ash
Like the great empires of the past

This fucking world has turned into a garbage can
Society’s destruction is fashioned by our own two hands
Corporate funded thieves are writing our legislation
Forcing us in-to a life of subjugation
This world is broken down to a tale of two societies
The poor huddled masses and the corporate elite
Suffocate the people that yearn to breathe free
And ship our jobs and our future to countries overseas
We’ve become a lazy lost culture that shuns an education
With fast track access to long incarceration
Too many broken homes that have failed to provide guidance
Created nihilistic children with a propensity for violence
Criminals become martyrs and think that karma’s unjust
And conniving politicians betray the public trust
It seems that now the fuse has been lit on both ends
It’s just a matter of where you stand when the chaos descends
And what lies ahead for the entitlement generation?
The tempest tossed children of our states denationalization
This whole fucking thing is ripping at the seams
We’re witnessing the disintegration of the American dream
