Trial By Fire - F.O.P. lyrics

I've seen no honor amongst THESE THIEVES... how low the depth?... how far the reach?... when wolves are left to police THE SHEEP... the city sleeps, while the city bleeds... elbow on the pulse of the commonwealth.. PROTECT YOUR OWN!... serve yourself!... bound in brotherhood by subservience... SHOW YOUR STRINGS, pull tight the reigns... can we break the system FROM INSIDE?... to arms, to arms... can we break the silence WITH THIS BOND?... two hearts, two hearts... RED TAPE COVERS CRACKS UP, leaving all loopholes exposed... TO DIFFUSE ALL DISSENTION!... to uphold the status quo... no matter how wrong this seems, it's all we know... no matter how unjust the means, maintain the flow... a tame brigade of human prey COWERING beneath the bludgeon... with our captor's teeth sinking in OUR STREETS... we're not free, we're not safe... our virus is blue and it's armed to the teeth... NO VACCINE, NO ESCAPE... refuse this pill, it brings no peace... SMASH THE SHIELD! SAVE OUR FATE!... from this ever-thickening chain... FROM THIS FALSE SECURITY!...... defend the indefensible... WITH A LAW... enforce the unenforceable... WITH A GUN... commissioned corruption... with arrogance they wield the bludgeon
