VNV Nation Serial Killer

In a face, a view
Through eyes this world collides
I am voiceless in my angst
And nothing can take us back
To innocence
Short, sharp, bloodlust reality
In despair I reach for night
In water purity reigns to be resolute
And as a land we clean our minds, reap our belongings
Sow our angers and our strengths
All too obsessed by weakness
We have brought ourselves to meaninglesness
So easy to control, bring to harm
A gathering of fools unjustified, on a mountain
And I collect my thoughts
And I rise above all that despises me

Comprehend the ways of man
And under a flag we salute or burn
There is blood on both shores
With hardened mind I traveled
With hardened heart I conquered
A freedom so ironic, so despicable, so hypocritical

There is anger resolute
Rears its familiar head on the TV screen
In a dozen bags a life was placed
In a breath he smiled and waved
Five minutes at a time the power held true
Without consternation our laws are lost
Lost to butchers, lost to child killers, lost to narcotic ritual
Another tag, another headline
Another smiling photograph shall stay ten winters long forever

And where are the angels to guard?
Where is the God of men and children?
He is stalking the minds of dark poor souls
I know it's right and I know it's time for freedom
To kill another and to kill another child of the flag
'Till there are none left
And another and to kill another and to kill another

Gaze upon what you've become
And take a look at what you've done
You'll repent for what you've done
Raping my daughter, raping my son
