Ballad of Nothing Lyrics

Cry havoc and release the dogs of propaganda

Sit for your dinner

Beg for your likes

Stay up all night

Knock down the elites

Nipping at your heels

No friends, only masters

On a leash

Lay the scent

Pack tactics

Muzzle drenched

Blood sport

Pit against your partners

Abused and begging for more

Who's training you?

Do your tricks

The whirr of the rotor blades

The chanting on the streets

The orders in my ear

This channel's insecure

The grainy picture on the screen

The bloodiest thing I've seen

My hand on the controls

Sweat beading off my brow

Feel so lightheaded

Floating above it

Just a touch and I'll change course

The sins are justified

I see them in the distance

An extension of my eye

I see them in the distance

Nothing can escape my gaze

The level desert sand stretches on for days

Crosshairs pinning the target

Passers-by stride into view

The target's head obscured

"Fire at will"

A scarf, a coat, a hood, a blur

My fingers relax, "no shot sir"

Every strike, every night, ends a life

Every strike, every night, ends a life

Every strike, every night, ends a life

Every strike, every night, ends a life
