Do they welcome our apathy? Are we feeding on their violence as we borrow our voice To a consented tyranny? Every step from here is a step too far but it's far enough to ignore Have we already made our peace with the furious forces of war? Export, expand, accelerate, exteriorate the collapse We accept that they kill the distant innocent in our place There's nothing you can see here that's not payed for in blood Are we blinded or are we ashamed to face the utter disgrace? We are the beating heart in the body of the monster We are the inertia at the center of the confounded eye of the storm We are the blind spot in a pastiche of destruction as long as we stay silent for nobody there will be calm There is no place we are given to elude the fingers of corruption Chaos is not caused by subversion it is a force from above Terror is not the path of rebellion it is a function of domination Domination Terror is a measure of maintenance Why don't we see that this system is fouling from the inside out? It's hollow yet, the fraud is getting old This is the land where peace is bought and war is sold Hostage Hostage to the empire We believe we are alive But we are hostage to the walking dead We are the beating heart in the body of the monster Hopelessness is sold as privilege of the rich Our cynicism is our daily bread We believe we are alive But we are hostage to the walking dead Life is bought and death is sold We are the beating heart in the body of the monster We are the inertia at the center of the confounded eye of the storm Every step from here is a step too far Have we already made our peace With the forces of war? Hostage Hostage to the empire We believe we are alive But we're complicit with the walking dead Cynicism is our daily bread
