Lyrics[]
Justified obliteration No one cares anymore The Messiah or mass murderer No controlling who comes through the door A culture made of cover-ups Will leprosy touch their flesh? For backroom meetings and rendezvous The vultures have come home to nest The clock runs out The weakest link A deadly strike The threat is real See the burnished images Of a crest fallen agency Violent conditioning Caused the nature of the enemy Your terminal lack of vision Blinded eyes see no light A chronic lack of perspective Their cancer now eats us alive A fatal shot A lust for blood The final act The threat is real Justified obliteration No one cares anymore The Messiah or mass murderer No controlling who comes through the door A culture made of cover-ups Will leprosy touch their flesh? For backroom meetings and rendezvous The vultures have come home to nest The clock runs out The weakest link A deadly strike The threat is real A fatal shot A lust for blood The final act The threat is real
