about

Fifth track on the Manifest album "Still Relevant"

lyrics

Staring into the eyes of a nearly dead man
He’s coughing and wheezing and it’s done by your hand
Blindly following orders, is that really being the best?
I’ve seen you piss on dead men’s heads

Here’s the instrument of oppression, the plaything of the elite
Camouflaged mass muscle march to ministerial beat
Death sold to us as defence, the violent docile masses
Necessary armed and dangerous

A soldier will kill you if he’s told to

Let’s all get behind this nationalistic craze
Compare everything to soldiers, be compelled to be amazed
Let’s destroy the defenceless, kill one, kill two, kill all
Is it really any wonder we’re abhorred?

Here’s the instrument of oppression, the plaything of the elite
Camouflaged mass muscle march to ministerial beat
Why put on the symbols if you’re not afraid to kill?
To celebrate extinction through rose tinted spectacles

A soldier will kill you if he’s told to
