The Butcher's Bonus

Verse 1

Lead

Poured into the ground

Cold

Heavy iron

Screaming through the clouds

They rain down

They rain down

They rain down

Desert dust

Burning up the lungs of the young

Empty cradles in the hall

Chorus

Whose flag is waving over the wreckage

Whose flag is waving over the wreckage

The butcher gets a bonus

The butcher gets a bonus

The hunger is a weapon

The hunger is a weapon

Tell me how much for a life

Tell me how much for a life

Post-Chorus

Power

Power

Kill for the power

Power

Verse 2

Black ink

On a map

Divided by a pen

Profit

Paper thin

Signed in a room with a view

Far away

Miles of ocean

Keep the conscience clean

White phosphorus

Blinding every eye

Turning bone into ash

Chorus

Whose flag is waving over the wreckage

Whose flag is waving over the wreckage

The butcher gets a bonus

The butcher gets a bonus

The hunger is a weapon

The hunger is a weapon

Tell me how much for a life

Tell me how much for a life

Bridge

Blood on the jersey

Blood on the screen

Blood on the money

It never stays clean

You buy the silence

You sell the fear

You build the wall

And disappear

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Whose flag is waving over the wreckage

Whose flag is waving over the wreckage

The butcher gets a bonus

The butcher gets a bonus

The hunger is a weapon

The hunger is a weapon

Tell me how much for a life

Tell me how much for a life

Outro

I see you

I see you

I see you

The world is watching

Watching you

Falling down

Down

Down
