Chain of Command Lyrics


The final peace

last left in a stellar game

strung up on the butcher’s slab

Life and death, feel the same

Our savage foes

Our persistent enemy

Intentions unknown

Paranoid apathy

Beneath the soil

Our mission is pursued

Endless toil to stop

a violent creation

We know not where

this darkness leads

protect the innocent

Ignore our own needs

Inphasable

Spit in the eye of the captor

Unbreakable

Defiance in the face of capture

Look up, tell me

what do you see

Four lights, brightly gleaming

Look again, in a state of distress

the fifth will appear if you value

your senses

Follow the chain

chain of command

at the end your body hangs

And the promise weighs you down

On your pain the future rests

Follow the chain

chain of command

at the end your body hangs

Sacrifice of mind and flesh

Is the price of peaceful

Enveloped in

A shroud of procedure

Protected by abstract concepts

Reality, strips me naked

and agony is thrust into my brain

Believe above all else

So I was trained

The rules call

for your safe return

This prison, deflects the light

The law, made meaningless

by indifference

Undeniable

Crisis grips my mind

Insatiable

No hope over fate tonight

Look up, tell me

what do you see

Four lights, brightly gleaming

You weak pathetic fool

what can you gain

Say there are five

away goes the pain

Follow the chain

chain of command

at the end your body hangs

And the promise weighs you down

On your pain the future rests

Follow the chain

chain of command

at the end your body hangs

Sacrifice of mind and flesh

Is the price of peaceful

An illusion

What I cannot say

The question tortures me

I want to believe

believe in what I see

I want to believe

The question tortures me

As hands drag me away

I want to believe

As freedom draws so near

The answer is clear

NOOOOO

There are four lights

Only four lights

There are four lights

Only four lights

(Solo: K. Losinske)

There are four lights

Only four lights

There are four lights

Only four lights

(Solo: S. Delorey)

At the end, I saw the gleaming

of phantom thoughts

Five lights mocking me

Exceeding the threshold

of pain and will

But the chain is unbroken

The chain is unbroken
