Call out the guard
Wake up the cops
Summon the troops
Everybody stops

Hidden out of town
But the network is down
Tracked from the air
Friendly fire in the square

Here comes a man
With a gun in his hand
Saviour with a plan
Draws a line in the sand

War’s another kind of thrill
The leader said
A shady city on a hill
Its soul is dead

You’re so needy you could fall for it
But he’s protected and he’s full of shit

Names all blacked out
Never doubt the leader’s way
Faces recognised
Undisguised power play

Last barricade
Their parade
Blown away

Here comes a man
With a gun in his hand
Saviour with a plan
Draws a line in the sand

War’s another kind of thrill
The leader said
A shady city on a hill
Its soul is dead

You’re so needy you could fall for it
But he’s protected and he’s full of shit

Blood in the sand
In a land
Turned to dust

Save us from harm
Red alarm
Poison trust

He’s not to blame
We all came
And this is fate

No second thought
We are caught
And it’s too late

There went a man
With a gun in his hand
Prince without a plan
Drew a line in the sand

War’s another kind of thrill
Until you’re dead
A shining city on a hill
The leader said

I knew for certain that you’ll fall for it
Cos I’m corrupted and I’m full of shit
