The jackboots to the conscience The gas lit mind restrained Hearts ripped through flesh & bone 'Til all dissent is tamed. Pounding thrusts of rifle stocks The tear gas in your eyes Cold grip of mortal fear 'Til everyone is blind! The jackboots to the conscience The gas lit mind restrained Hearts ripped through flesh & bone 'Til all dissent is tamed. Reaping thrusts of sharpened scythes Tears shimmer in our eyes Like broken glass in darkest nights Intention masked as lies! When we finally fall like Rome How will we find our way back home? Guided by the fires at night Let burning bridges light the way! *Two Times* Somewhere between the heart and mind There lives a savage beast A part of man to understand Which one can not defeat! It thrives upon the violence It severs and it burns Once it divides and worlds collide The cycle will return! The jackboots to the conscience The gas lit mind restrained Hearts ripped through flesh & bone 'Til all dissent is tamed. Reaping thrusts of sharpened scythes Tears shimmer in our eyes Like broken glass in darkest nights Intention masked as lies! When we finally fall like Rome How will we find our way back home? Guided by the fires at night Let burning bridges light the way! *Two Times*
