[Intro] "No faces in the firelight, and no souls behind the eyes. They feed beneath the skyline, where all the truth just dies...." [1] Smoke crawls over broken land Black suits wash their bloody hands Strings pulled from a hidden throne Every leader’s a puppet or clone Silent wars behind the glass Crushing futures for the cash Children raised in poisoned fear While the shadows pull us near [P] Can you hear the sirens cry? Can you feel the system lie? [C] THE SHADOW GOVERNMENT Hiding underneath your skin THE SHADOW GOVERNMENT Letting all the darkness in No mercy, no conscience Cold hearts made of stone They're feeding on the world While we burn alone [2] Dead men talking on the screen Selling nightmares dressed up clean Every promise built to break Every law another fake Watch the towers scrape the sky Built from every mother’s cry No redemption left to save Only chains and shallow graves [3] They erase the names and faces Turn the weak to empty spaces Every riot, every war Built behind a hidden door Truth is hanging by a thread Voices vanish, found half-dead This is not a distant dream Nothing here is what it seems [P] Can you hear the sirens cry? Can you feel the system lie? [C] THE SHADOW GOVERNMENT Hiding underneath your skin THE SHADOW GOVERNMENT Letting all the darkness in No mercy, no conscience Cold hearts made of stone They're feeding on the world While we burn alone [B] Raise your fists into the night Drag the secrets to the light No more silence, no more fear The enemy is already here [Outro] No faces No souls No mercy left at all The shadow government Will watch the whole world fall
