"AMERICAN NIGHTMARE"

As the spangled banner flies over ruins
the blood thirsty flesh hungry roam the streets
we were once God fearing people they say
now the morals we lived on just a memory

Wandering hopelessly
lost in the mire of our own demise
Scrambling endlessly
going about our empty lives

Sedated by lies to ignore truths pain
hypocritical fools we'll forever remain
drunk on the blood of the innocent child
and feast on remains of the great empire

This nightmare is one you can't awake from
this is a maze you can't find an end to
land of the free now we're slaves we were the chosen ones
the American dream is a nightmare we can't wake from

We are the masters of our fate
if we chose to burn then let us burn
in God we trust but we trust no more
faith is for fools we'll set our own path

Blaspheming God cursing
generation of fools and hypocrisies
drop the bomb shoot the gun
fight with force for democrasy

Numb to the sirens and the lights of red
we're deaf to the chaos we ignore the signs
the prophets we've killed and the sages dead
we will live by our rules and live our lie

This nightmare is one you can't awake from
this is a maze you can't find an end to
land of the free now we're slaves we were the chosen ones
the American dream is a nightmare we can't wake from

Blood is the oil that runs this machine
killing the innocent living our dream
Blood is the oil that runs this machine
killing the innocent living our dream

This nightmare is one you can't awake from
this is a maze you can't find an end to
land of the free now we're slaves we were the chosen ones
the American dream is a nightmare we can't wake from

Blood is the oil that runs this machine
killing the innocent living our dream
Blood is the oil that runs this machine
killing the innocent living our dream
Blood is the oil that runs this machine
killing the innocent living our dream
