lyrics

There's a strangler in the kitchen of hope
Optimism has done me wrong
In threes, the sound comes in threes
Close the tale : where will we end up?

Vital to ignore the figurehead
The one who hides is the one to fear
Law has got no meaning at all
Will and might make all the calls

There’s a bad encounter at hand
Think back here to where they got that land
Shades of sin, how’d they get that walk?
Total anesthesia -- total war!

What’s the point of this heinous trust?
What’s your role now within this war?
Consume the rum and so supply the funds
Or run the guns, accept a damaged heart?

Everything’s supplied behind the lines
From afar, debt controls all
The thug structure’s not for fun
Little way to detect illusion

It seems there are two of you
What caused us to break the pattern?
People approach the anaesthetic
To feel less of the automatic

PARTIAL AMNESIA TOTAL WAR
TOTAL ANESTHESIA TOTAL WAR

It’s presented that the paths are set
Discrete choices with a common end
You’re expected to fill a slot
But that version of real is really not

Be prepared for a surprise
When suddenly you’re named as the bad guy
Your best friend becomes a gun
Barrel trained right between your eyes

What's the point at which we break
Or turn and follow a better snake?
Tonight will come a sleep without rest
Here it is, darkness descends!

The situation’s far from OK
Don’t be lulled to complacency
That’s a trick they use to doom ya
By the time you notice -- fait accompli!

You see me approach the dream-sleep
I go there to bring you memories
I go there, then back to this world
Both conditions temporary

Each and every cycle must end
Even ours with its technology
After the last shell hits the ground
The earth shall rise triumphantly

Mission accomplished
Mission impossible
The worse things get
The more we forget
PARTIAL AMNESIA TOTAL WAR
TOTAL ANESTHESIA TOTAL WAR
