Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Born to lose, trained to fight
Hates the dark, defends the light
Taught to pray, yet made to kill
Life's a game, do as thou wilt
[Refrain]
Wave the flag, then torch the town
Come in peace, then burn it down
[Verse 2]
Smoke and fire, choke the dawn
Every trace of life is gone
Hot sun, the desert war
Blood for gold, and guns will roar
Red skies, bombs fall
Black smoke, a nation crawls
Fight for crude and oil fields
The mighty fall and the people kneel
[Chorus]
Drones above in desert skies
Truth is sold in streaming lies
Profits grow while children die
The people know that they won't survive
[Verse 3]
Burning maps, foreign lands
Kings all drink the blood-soaked sand
Votes are cast in smoke and steel
You say, "We the people…?" What's the deal?
[Refrain]
Wave the flag, then torch the town
Come in peace, then burn it down
[Verse 4]
Cold eyes, dead hands
The greedy own the desert lands
Rusty tanks, Saharan rain
Fleeting hope, and "coming pain"
Crack a smile, bite your tongue
Play the fool or die too young
Iron mist on golden dunes
Freedom fades underneath the moons
[Chorus]
Drones above in desert skies
Truth is sold in streaming lies
Profits grow while children die
The people know that they won't survive
