1. All That I Know
Lyrics: Lesinski
All that I know went up in a ‘shoom
In the mirrors of my eyes is reflected the gloom
The news show went dead along with my mind
All those who saw it are now hot and blind
Safe on the outskirts, I lived through the raid
All of my poor country’s dues have been paid
With ashes and hot wind and sand turned to glass
Those who survive will return to kick ass
I lost my mother, her husband, my wife
It seems I am lucky to still have my life
All hope is gone so what else can be worth
Any more than this concept I’ve since birth:
Survival will come to those who are strong
We’ll get back those bastards who thought we were wrong
We’ll fight those madmen we will make them pay
And our mutant decedents will be free one day
2. Caverns Dug Deep Part 1
[instrumental]
3. Caverns Dug Deep Part 2
Lyrics: Lesinski, Gutierrez
This is the commander in chief, we won
A patriotic message for dead ears below
The skies are cloudy on a sunny July day
The seeds of hope in dead soil sown
This hard decision’s nothing when kids and mind are gone
Pieces of paper replaced by guns
Where was that bastard when the hot wind burned our lungs
We crawl through the holes of caverns dug deep
To hide from the warlords in mountains so steep
They will hunt us down through the slag and the bog
To wash our minds so cruelly into a fog
The machines will be fighting the next major war
As if Three was not enough, try War Number Four
Part 4. Capitol Hill
Lyrics: Lesinski, Brown
The minister gambling thousand dollar bills
On the White House lawn on Capitol Hill
Got a gun in his pocket and his wife is gone
So he’s selling his stuff on the White House lawn
Star Wars saved the Pentagon
And in the courtyard the warlords hung
So now those souls whose genes are mixed
Are looking to the trigger to get themselves fixed
There’s a body at rest in old Abe’s lap
And twenty more lay about his feet
The Unknown Soldier’s got plenty of company
Their shadows burned into the streets
It’s shallow comfort other side’s kids died too
Left over demons wait patiently for Number Four
I saw a spot where the last flower grew
In the torso of a woman whose luck was poor
[Spoken word]:
It didn’t take long.
Heard it on the radio.
Six minutes and all we knew was gone.
Wife, house, kids. Everything.
I almost wished I was with them instead of sitting in this war building where the hawks began the inferno.
Now being bandaged in the computer room, the holocaust’s womb.
It’s too bad we didn’t see it coming — I guess this time it’s not worth it to learn from our mistakes.
So what is the point? A broken life? A dead wife?
A nuclear knife.
Stabbed in the back and all
Turns
To black.
5. World War Four
Lyrics: Lesinski
One more word, one more accusation
The machines were called to fight
Those alive called it World War Five ’cause they had lost their count
Metal and silicon, the steel demons lumbered over the land
To fight a battle of ideology they didn’t understand
No, wake me up
I don’t believe it’s a dream
With a roar a lake was vaporized
A seam was ripped by robotic planes in the orange sky
Juggernauts lumber spurting flames
As a fallen child cries
War machines face off in a global draw
Heathen metal shines in the tired sun
When the battle is over left are smoking ruins
And a thousand remain to prove that they have won
No, wake me up
I don’t believe it’s a dream
I can’t believe it’s a dream
It’s a dream
Wake me up
It’s a dream
It’s got to be a dream
6. The Dream of Kings
Lyrics: Lesinski
The leaders woke today with a vision clear in their minds
The universal dream was a miracle, a blessing in disguise
The Russian was first, then the Arab, then The President
Disarming their nations, heeding the warning, saving our lives
