Текст песни Scorch the Earth - James Paddock

Blue-tinted blood running from your mouth
A call to arms – a cry for clout
The violence-hunger grows
And you couldn't be more proud
Yeah, you've waited with bated breath
Now you kick the hornet's nest
Banners fly, hear the cry
Prime-time civil unrest
Drive the point home with bullet points on kevlar vests

You're a weapon of mass elocution
Stoke the fires of retribution

So speak to us
Channel our forefathers
And speak in tongues
(While we bite each other's off)
Yeah, a thousand lies
Fall on blinded eyes
(And on ears fallen deaf)
So spread the word
Funnel the facts for us
And head the herd
(We can never get enough)
Yeah, words can hurt
And could burn this world
We scorched the earth, but we were heard

You brought the flood, now it's fight or flight
Like Moses on the mount, you are our holy light
Forty pounds of flesh – did I get your order right?
How deep will you dig under skin
'Til you've found primaeval sin?
Spitting bone, tooth and nail
Now there's blood amongst the din
Loose lips sink ships
And now all hell breaks loose
You win!

And we hang on your every lecture
Say it's time for an insurrection!

The mental gymnastics have you spiral on yourself
But we don't care, tell us what we want to hear
By the hour, the message meets more ears
You're counting on nobody preying on your fears

And the world will see us now
Even as we send it crashing down!

So speak to us
Channel our forefathers
And speak in tongues
(While we bite each other's off)
Yeah, a thousand lies
Fall on blinded eyes
(And on ears fallen deaf)
So spread the word
Funnel the facts for us
And head the herd
(We can never get enough)
Yeah, words can hurt
And could burn this world
We scorched the earth, but we were heard!
