Lyrics
Battle Lines
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Know the nation you keep
Identify and feed them their grief
Cut them off from the people
Take each cell and repeat
Assign their trouble to the unseen
Then protected you'll be
Make dull chaos the rule
Reduce their spirit and you'll find soon
They'll be too weak to fight you
(By the will of God our power is total)
Fake a disaster state
The enemy will make itself plain
For in a world that never takes a form
The battle lines are gone
And war is always on
Somehow
But we are all the soldiers now
I see blood in my dreams
A beaten face
The gas
The streets
A screen
So we shall do our mothers proud
If we are all the soldiers now
I surrender
And I relinquish all my weapons
We together
Are terrifying asking a question
I surrender
And I relinquish all my weapons
We together
Are terrifying asking a question
I know what I wanna go get
And I ain't gonna make it complicated
We lay down the law in this place
So you don't need to save us
I know what I wanna go get
And I ain't gonna make it complicated
We lay down the law in this place
So you don't need to say
To say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to say
And I ain't gonna make it to say
To say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to say
And I ain't gonna 'quish all my weapons
To say, to say, to say
For you
And I ain't gonna 'quish all my weapons
To say, to say, to say
For you
And I ain't gonna 'quish all my weapons
Do our
Terrifying
To the unseen
To say, to say, to say
For you
And I ain't gonna 'quish all my weapons
Do our

To the unseen
The lines are gone now
To say, to say, to say
For you
And I ain't gonna 'quish all my weapons
Do our

The lines are gone now
And I ain't gonna 'quish all my weapons

Relinquish all my weapons
Do our

The lines are gone now
