All hail democracy, hypocrisy Promote the war campaign A calculated risk The numbers that are slain Election year is here We gather round a cause In the weapon industry We place our votes For I promote oblivion (oblivion) Let the maps of war be drawn We are but pawns in their power schemes All hail (all hail) the new clear dawn As history repeats itself Behind closed doors Lesser gods of higher rank Prodding us to war The iron dream a burning curse We will never learn
For god, for oil, for land Lines are drawn in the sand For I promote oblivion (oblivion) Let the maps of war be drawn We are but pawns in their power schemes All hail (all hail) the new clear dawn On public demand, oblivion (oblivion) The seeds of hate are sown We are but pawns in their power schemes All hail... the new clear dawn For I promote oblivion (oblivion) Let the maps of war be drawn We are but pawns in their power schemes All hail (all hail) the new clear dawn
