作曲 : Noctorum
We saw them whisper in your ear
The words that you expected to hear
Mission accomplished
Handshakes all 'round

You climbed into your private jet
Not a hint of remorse or regret
Your master's smile
The battle nearly won

Where were the interceptors
Where was Captain Kirk
Why was there no warning
The radar didn't work

Such a perfect execution
The media played a part
While the heroes and the fallen
Are all left in the dark

Meanwhile in the tower
I'm debating what to do
I never did have a head for heights
But I have to make a move

The terror of a certain death
The screams, the smoke, the chaos
As loved ones hear the phones go dead
And turn to those who betrayed us

And in the crackling dawn
They cleared the debris away
So it would never be known
What really happened that day

And they relied on us all
To believe what we were told
So full of shock and of awe
We trusted them with our souls
We trusted them with our souls

Our captain was looking nervous
As the sun set on the bay
He called the gunners to their stations
The anchors hauled away

An eerie calm descended
On the Gulf of Mexico
No Spanish through the glasses
Just a ripple in the status quo

Meanwhile on the foredeck
I'm debating what to do
The ocean looms below me
Cold and deep and blue

The ship is listing badly
Soon we all could drown
I thought I saw a gunboat
One of ours, before we all went down

At home the bankers are pleased
Investment trebles that day
The stock exchange is busy
Conscription gets underway

And truth is twisted to suit
The aims of merciless men
They're sacrificing our lives
To iron and steel again
To iron and steel again
