Long Cold Night

(We will provide you with products
You will learn to conform and use these products
We will provide you with weapons
You will use these weapons out of fear
We will provide you with government
You will use government to control and declare war)

An anonymous tip brought the empire down
Everything covered up by the plan
Have you had your retina scanned?
Have you had your retina scanned?

Why kill matter?  (You can't kill the waves)
All this trouble  (All these graves)
All these humans  (Turned to slaves)
Why kill matter?  (It won't make you safe)

It's murder
All of our heroes
Murder
War is an excuse for murder
Over and over
Murder
War is an excuse for...

Give us your world and we'll soak it in Babylon
Truth in the eyes of the long lost vagabond
Lie and disguise, wipe the tears from our eyes
Give it all our time for the money, just to die
But they're not listening, no, not for long
Souls in a plane can't complain that they're falling
Until they hit the ground and the tick stops tocking
Lie there in shame because the moment never came
No one ever knew it was back the other way
When the fire burns and we're back where we'd begun

Squint
You might see the light
But it's gonna be a long cold night
It's gonna be a long cold night...

Yes
We are the vampires of destruction
Yes
Without remorse or consideration
Yes
We are trying to drown this sphere
Yes
Use our weapons out of fear
