War By Other Means

War By Other Means

every voice you've silenced and every life you've taken

recollections from your distant past

the tortured and the dying from a legacy of hatred

are back to echo in your ears

screams you thought for sure wouldn't last



because you can't kill an idea, i will not be ruled...

because you can't kill an idea, and we will not be ruled...



"disrupt misdirect isolate and nuetralize"

like the Trudells who burned alive in '79

now those enemies of the hour are the focus of this moment

for as long as we are here every voice remains alive



because you can't kill an idea, i will not be ruled...

because you can't kill an idea, we will not be ruled by fear



i pledge no allegiance to the flag

of the undeniable mistakes of america

which to the plutocracy for which it stands

so many nations and their gods have become invisible

with liberty and justice reserved for a precious chosen few

let our allegiances lie with those betrayed by the facade

for the calm is an illusion...



"the struggle is not over...it assumes new forms"

for no matter what the face no matter what the name

it's still...

war



the laws are silent in times of war
