ring in the empire

what if this is the last
all the freedom has become the past
ring in the Empire bombs blasting in air
how many of these patriots notice or care
we are lied to daily on one level or another
what’s next a civil war where we all kill each other
or more terror attacks instilling more fear
into the soft flesh of our liberty it’ll tear
they are promising security from danger
they are all lies and it brings on the anger
and the contempt for what’s done in our name
we are the pieces in the big power game
if it’s really going to be the last
should we bow down before every question is asked
and answered when did they stop working for us
they keep us distracted betraying our trust
convinced all is done with our freedom in mind
but they limit that freedom wherever they can find
all of these fireworks are in celebration
can’t help but think of similar sounds of devastation
in foreign lands coming soon to a city near you
when will truth be resurrected and come into clear view…
