Lyrics Behind Enemy Lines

Behind Enemy Lines

Faceless

From the age of the thought police- greetings

From the age of big brother- greetings

From the age of newspeak- greetings

Welcome to the age of continuous warfare

We are the free; we are the peaceful

They're the aggressors and they are the hateful

Who are they?

We're defending democracy; we're protecting our borders

They resent freedom and they utilize terror

Who are they?

They lurk in the shadows

Endlessly plotting to destroy our very way of life

If you do what we say then everything will be fine

We will protect you as we live in the age of

Faceless

Nameless

Endless

War

Who controls the past controls the future

Who controls the present controls the past

We have that control

You submit to authority when you're residing in fear

So don't ever question and don't you dare criticize

Don't believe what you see, just accept what you hear

It's in your best interest that your knowledge is purged

It's a beautiful thing the destruction of words

War is peace

Freedom is slavery

Ignorance is strength

It's a beautiful thing the destruction of words

Once we control what's spoken we'll see no more dissension

Just politicized images to skew your perception

You can't trust your own judgment; you can't trust yourselves

So we will protect you from yourselves

We will protect you; we will protect you

You are a threat to yourselves

So we will protect you

You are a threat to yourselves

So we will protect you

It doesn't matter if victory is possible

This war is not meant to be won

It is meant to be continuous

And that's only possible on the basis of ignorance

The most practical way to keep our power structure intact

Is to keep society on the brink of starvation

So we, as the ruling class, will maintain our power

By waging war against our own population

We will break you'' we will break you

Keep your dissent to yourselves

Or we will break you

Keep your dissent to yourselves

Or we will break you

Here comes a candle to light you to bed

Here comes a chopper to chop off your head

From the age of the thought police- beware

From the age of big brother- beware

From the age of newspeak- beware

Beware of the motive in continuous warfare

You may thing we are free' you may think we are peaceful

But we're the aggressors and we are the hateful

Who are we?

We dismantle democracy; we invade others' borders

We repress freedom and we utilize terror

Who are we?

We'll drive you into the shadows

Forever destroying your very way of life

If you're not on our side then you'll be in our sights

There's no neutrality in our "war on terror"

We are the enemy; we are the enemy

Take a good look at ourselves

Because we are the enemy

Take a good look at ourselves

Because we are the enemy
