Birds Of Prey

Moving along the assembly line of society

Becoming another piece of the machinery

You are expendable

The wars go on for years

You are replaceable

Just so many circuits and gears

Abomination of nature

Blasphemy of creation

The plagues now take their toll

Lessons in germ warfare

Cut out infected organs

Replace them with machinery

Our leaders are all playing God

Now we are running out of what we’ve got

They need a soldier that never dies

In a future that’s a little less civilized

Birds of prey fill the air

Sent to cleanse with rains of fire

In ivory towers with marble stairs

In front of TV walls sit billionaires

Live footage of the battles is always on the air

All those years spent going to school

Mind your manners, follow the rules

Don’t you step out of line

Getting nowhere, running out of time

Round and round we go

Spinning on our solar star

Picking up the pace

Final evolution of the human race

See the glow of the burning cites

In the distant evening sky

Hear the fighting getting closer

Fulfill your program, kill all that is alive

The will to kill is your only memory

Whose brain is behind those eyes?

For your crimes against society

We have a new death penalty

Take out your identity

Replace your brain with control circuitry

Birds of prey fill the air

Sent to cleanse with rains of fire

Chemicals fall from a smoke-filled sky

Freezing your lungs, melting your eyes

Blistering your skin but you’ll never die

It was then that I could see

All earth creatures will be extinct

Killed by the one with the mechanical brain

Killed by the beast called human being

Close the door and don’t go back

There is no way I’ll go back that way

Lock the door, lose the key

It’s not for you, not for me...

Don’t go down that path again

There is nothing there for us, my friend

There is what is and what should never be...

Lies!

Hate!

Greed!

Birds of prey!
