Armageddon Rising

Lines drawn in the red dust Borders locked down

Can you feel the fever rising?

Penthouses glowing while the bread lines stall Concrete barricades fifty feet tall

Fleeing through the wire with a child in hand While generals gamble

on a scorched-up land Coughing in the alleys,

fever in the air Trillion-dollar suites pretending not to care (Break the

lock!) No cure for the greed inside!

(Nowhere left!) Nowhere left for the weak to hide!

Welcome to the Armageddon!

Fires burning high on the hill!

Welcome to the Armageddon!

Pay the price or swallow the pill!

(Yeah,

swallow the pill!) The empire feeds while the millions bleed

Welcome to the Armageddon!

Pockets stuffed with profit from a brand new strain Manufactured panic,

automated pain Families in the trailers,

yachts along the coast Counting up the bodies that they exploit the

most Sirens in the trench,

weapons on parade Watch the fragile circus start to fade

(Tear it down!) No cure for the hollow heart!

(Count it down!) Watch the borders rip apart!

Welcome to the Armageddon!

Fires burning high on the hill!

Welcome to the Armageddon!

Pay the price or swallow the pill!

(Swallow the pill!) The empire feeds while the millions bleed

Welcome to the Armageddon!

Divide and conquer!

They watch us burn from ivory towers!

(Burn!) Time is up!

Your reign is dead!

Armageddon...

No escape from the fallout now (Armageddon!)
