Ben Farrington - Strike Lyrics

Everyone wants something to believe
Clinging to the time so desperately
If only now and then they'd stop and think
About the victims of their own insanity
That put us in the fumes of this machine
As the messiah only drags his feet
As faith lies in the next cohort of slaves
It starts with waking up holding a hand grenade

But no one thought that way
While they felt the pressure just to carry their own name
No one ever took our side
When they plundered every corner, left it all to die

Another foot soldier in the field
To build the shrines to bow to these ideals
Where the judge will summon further offerings
To carry on the current path of self-destruction

But no one thought that way
While they felt the pressure just to carry their own name
No one ever took our side
When they plundered every corner, left it all to die
Heads buried in the wasteland Ransacking ancient burial grounds

But no one thought that way
When we're locked up in the front seat and pushed into the lake
No one ever took our side
When we're born into this pit of fire
Then fed to the lions
And left us there to die
