You find yourself picking up the peace that fell
The cause is our reliance
Where bombs can fall guns can fire their mating call
To share their own alliance
Historically imaged in the form of savage times where conquest was the goal
So now you find yourself picking up the peace that fell

Is this justice or is this genocide?
And who amongst us will decide?
Mistaken for virtue our fear and hate
They're all the hallmarks of the emblematic state
The emblematic state

So now you find yourself picking up the peace that fell
But you can't put it back together no you can't put it back together

taken for virtue our fear and hate
They're all the hallmarks of the emblematic state
