Tongueless and Bound

Truth is eternally treason
In the empire
Empire of lies

For our empire muzzles the lips
Of a savior who howls corruption
His exploration of reality
Has ruffled the feathers of a starving vulture

Classified America breeds and multiplies
Vastly shrouded from us and even itself

A dark bureaucracy devoted to protecting us
Lurks beneath our corroding democratic practice
How will anyone create change
When we cannot see inside this dark machine?

Classified America breeds and multiplies
Vastly shrouded from us and even itself

An era where a military-political demon
Is hidden from all scrutiny

We must ask ourselves:
But who watches the watchmen?

Truth is eternally treason
In the empire of lies
Truth is eternally treason
In the empire of lies

[Solo]

For our empire
Muzzles the lips of a savior who howls corruption

Classified America breeds and multiplies
Vastly shrouded from us and even
And even itself
And even itself

Classified America breeds and multiplies
