Scorched Earth Policy - Anihilated

Scales fall from my eyes

I’ve been blind too long

Shut myself off from the world

While everything went wrong

Earth groans beneath the weight

Of a million war machines

Preaching unrequited hate

To win by any means

With a heavy heart and a tarnished soul

I stand in line to pay the toll

A lesson in true lunacy

A Scorched Earth Policy

Do you only care for

Me, myself and I?

Are these the lies you whisper

As another child dies?

Earth groans beneath the weight

Of a million war machines

Preaching unrequited hate

To win by any means

With a heavy heart and a tarnished soul

I stand in line to pay the toll

A lesson in true lunacy

A Scorched Earth Policy

Your children do not know you

They’re programmed full of hate

Mankind has learned nothing

But another way to rape

Yet still you go on killing

Still you do pollute

Still you teach your children

That the self is absolute

Earth groans beneath the weight

Of a million war machines

Preaching unrequited hate

To win by any means

With a heavy heart and a tarnished soul

I stand in line to pay the toll

A lesson in true lunacy

A Scorched Earth Policy
