lyrics

In... in... vince-able.
Kill, kill, kill them all.
Re...Re...Ciprocal.
See, see they'd do the same.
At least there's no one left to blame.
So let's move on.
"Better you than me", said the apple to the tree,
"I've done all the damage I can do.
But you better keep your stripes in sight,
'cause ceilings can be glass sometimes, and people can protect on a whim.
"What do you call it, this game of erasing lives.
When do we panic? If not now, then when?
And how and who has the proxy for you?
What in your name will they do?
Let's see where they lead us if only to bleed us.
Who knows what lessons we'll learned.
"Compass commands have weight in the strongest hands
and the target is always shifting it's shape."
But don't forget the protocol when your back is up against the wall.
It’s all in the name of what's next." So what's next?
Center the figure and steady your aim.
Correct all injustice.
They've trespassed against us.
Summon conviction.
Permission has been granted.
The compass would want it this way.
