Am I of God or Satan or an obsidian hemisphere? Am I the fated sovereign or sanctitude inverse? Consider the great solitude of the truly liberated man Set forth to raze frail humanity once again Am I to act alone? If so, I'll draw blood from stone Am I to act alone? If so, I'll be the thundering tremor to whip the storm Why are we such tender flesh under blackening skies? Are we defenceless prey in a predator's eye? Can we stay stalwart in the face of fated tragedy? Are we to remain subjugated by fictitious morality? Am I to act alone? If so, I'll separate the meat from bone Am I to act alone? If so, I shall be the herald of reckoning's swarm Host of the ones condemned Dethrone god malevolent Hear the cannons roar We are off to war Uncrowned he with reins adorned Blacken the icon We for whom no god shall mourn Off to war Am I of God or Satan or an obsidian hemisphere? Am I the fated sovereign or sanctitude inverse? Consider the great solitude of the truly liberated man Set forth to raze frail humanity once again

Here stands a man At the bottom of a hole he's made Still sweating from the rush His body tense His hands, they shake Oh this, this is a mad boy Here stands a man With a bullet in his clenched right hand Don't push him, son For he's got the power to crush this land Oh hear, hear him cry, boy Don't you ever leave me alone My war is over Be my shelter from the storm My war is over I am a sad boy Here stands a man At the bottom of a hole he's made Still sweating from the rush His body tense His hands, they shake Oh this, this is a mad boy Here stands a man With a bullet in his clenched right hand But don't push him, son For he's got the power to crush this land Oh hear, hear him cry, boy Don't you ever leave me alone My war is over Be my shelter from the storm My war is over I am a sad boy Don't you ever leave me alone Be my shelter from the storm My war is over I am a sad boy

Fuck, don't tell me you're fine all the time It'll get in my head a bad way, babe Don't let it creep in your mind, you'll go blind that way And that's a madness that breaks faith They say the Kingdom of Heaven touched down In an interstate motel lobby True to the American WAY (the American WAY) It's available only today Americana's crusade for the common man's promised land Kaboom Blowout Everything must go Everything must go Make way For the Kingdom come Blowout Everything must go Everything must go Make way For the revolution They call that Holy War in Dallas They send crusaders to reclaim the new Jerusalem They say the Queen was born of malice The Queen of Babylon and all her sons ascended to the throne They cry for Holy War in Dallas They send crusaders out from Phoenix to Beijing They're calling "Purify the palace, the streets" But the temple remains unclean Yea, the temple remains unclean I see it said in your eyes All the time You ain't gotta tell me you're fine babe They call that Holy War in Dallas They call for Holy War On us
