The song’s title is a reference to the video game franchise Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell, a series of stealth shooter games.
[Intro]
"This is Darko. Welcome."
[Refrain]
So now were plagued with possibilities with no common ground
We were given a chance to change
Brother I hear you suffering just beyond my grasp
Is it selfish to know there’s something more?
[Verse 2]
We paint the skies with chemicals
We judge our own as if we’re any better
Our young are dying to die so young
This song has long been sung
Just a mere melody to you
A catchy song or a sad tribute
Are you listening or waiting to speak?
[Refrain]
So now were plagued with possibilities with no common ground
We were given a chance to change
Brother I hear you suffering just beyond my grasp
So now were plagued with possibilities with no common ground
We were given a chance to change
Brother I hear you suffering just beyond my grasp
[Bridge]
What a time to be alive
How long until we can thrive?
Hidden messages within the numbers
Mankind stays in an endless slumber
What a time to be alive
How long before we can thrive?
Hidden messages within the numbers
Mankind stays in an endless slumber
[Verse 2]
So now were blinded by the view
So atomic and beautiful
Like the poison within your brain
Embedded, untraceable
So now were blinded by the view
So atomic and beautiful
Like the poison within your brain
Embedded, untraceable
[Breakdown]
Embedded, untraceable
Embedded, untraceable
[Refrain]
So now were plagued with possibilities with no common ground
We were given a chance to change
Brother I hear you suffering just beyond my grasp
Embedded, untraceable
So now were plagued with possibilities with no common ground
We were given a chance to change
Brother I hear you suffering just beyond my grasp
