The Dark After Dawn

Fear
These are careless times
When all systems fail
When circuits degrade into amber light
Now the troops align
Letting chaos take the reigns
And the circus parades into
Endless night

Scared
Of the great machine
Now the war is near
And our leaders like puppets
Just like talking heads
And the meek get mean
While the judges turn away
Cause the criminals are their lovers
Waiting home in bed

Violence
Will you bring me down?
In the dark after dawn
Are you giving me a reason?

Violence
In the dark after dawn
Are you on your way to killing
everything good in my life?

Burned
Like a field on fire
Like our trust in the game
Where politics play chess with
Our mechanized fate
They're a gun for hire
Now we're bleeding fame
And the movies make us happy cause
They flicker with hate

Violence
Will you bring me down?
In the dark after dawn
Are you giving me a reason?

Violence
In the dark after dawn
Are you on your way to killing
everything good in my life?
