lyrics

The day begins as always
Each moment focused on his own gains
His deceit is ever growing
Countless lives sacrificed for his wealth and boundless greed.

You reach for the summit for your fortune and fame
Destroying everyone and everything that stands in your way
You burn through the city and you lurk in the town
And nobody has a clue that the devil's around

Under siege, he races
Desperate to defeat the foe he faces
Policies affecting millions
Fail to help any of the ones who elected him

You are a one man army with a pen in your hand
Destroying lives by the thousands for supply and demand
Millions suffer daily but it's not your concern
You just sold them down the line for some money to burn

Nobody sees behind the smokescreen
Just another friendly face
Nobody sees behind the smokescreen
Walking with us every day
Nobody sees behind the smokescreen
Forces of our doom amass
Nobody sees behind the smokescreen
Just a bunch of psychopaths

Anger burns, his blade heals
Cares not for the endless pain his prey feels
As the rage is easing
Peace returns for a time until he must hunt again

The screams of your victims resonate in your brain
But they'll each soon discover that the effort's in vein
The souls of the fallen never haunt you at night
Their only value to you was at the end of a knife
