Parkway Drive - Absolute Power lyrics
[Parkway Drive - Absolute Power lyrics]
Your heart, your home, your voice
It's got a price tag
Sign in blood, bury your rights in a body bag
They're feeding fear through the fault lines
You heard it here first
They got your freedoms on the front line
Primetime, the noose at our throats
Our liberties hands run with
Blood of the scapegoats
So tell me how can we demonize
When we can't see life through another's eyes
Pay 'em off and play 'em off
Fear rolls like a reaper through
The streets of the lost
Pay 'em off and play 'em off
But in the eyes of the storm
The truth drops like a bomb
The truth drops like a bomb the battle is on
Hands in chains for a fist full of dollars
Who do we blame for the
Holes in our knowledge?
The past you know has been
Written by the victor so I ask you now
Who is it writing your future?
The butcher, the liar
The thief or the killer?
Your freedom died quiet in the halls of power
Starved for peace
We'll eat war until it kills us
Six feet deep with a belly full of bullets
Pay 'em off and play 'em off
Fear rolls like a reaper through
The streets of the lost
Pay 'em off and play 'em off
But in the eyes of the storm
The truth drops like a bomb
The truth drops like a bomb the battle is on
The hate runs deep, but our hopes cut deeper
Now we walk through the valley in
The shadow of the reaper
Money talks, and it's speaking in tongues
They put a price on our soul
Like they had already won
Now open wide, I see their jaws locked tight
Silent in the moment like
Prey in the floodlights
The signal is static, baptised in fire
Now we see how they talk with
A mouth full of barbed wire
Absolute power, absolute power
Absolute power
Absolute power corrupts absolutely
Absolute power, absolute power
Absolute power absolute power corrupts
The truth drops like a bomb
The truth drops like a bomb the battle is on
The truth drops like a
Absolute power corrupts absolutely
It's got a price tag
Sign in blood, bury your rights in a body bag
They're feeding fear through the fault lines
You heard it here first
They got your freedoms on the front line
Primetime, the noose at our throats
Our liberties hands run with
Blood of the scapegoats
So tell me how can we demonize
When we can't see life through another's eyes
Pay 'em off and play 'em off
Fear rolls like a reaper through
The streets of the lost
Pay 'em off and play 'em off
But in the eyes of the storm
The truth drops like a bomb
The truth drops like a bomb the battle is on
Hands in chains for a fist full of dollars
Who do we blame for the
Holes in our knowledge?
The past you know has been
Written by the victor so I ask you now
Who is it writing your future?
The butcher, the liar
The thief or the killer?
Your freedom died quiet in the halls of power
Starved for peace
We'll eat war until it kills us
Six feet deep with a belly full of bullets
Pay 'em off and play 'em off
Fear rolls like a reaper through
The streets of the lost
Pay 'em off and play 'em off
But in the eyes of the storm
The truth drops like a bomb
The truth drops like a bomb the battle is on
The hate runs deep, but our hopes cut deeper
Now we walk through the valley in
The shadow of the reaper
Money talks, and it's speaking in tongues
They put a price on our soul

Now open wide, I see their jaws locked tight
Silent in the moment like

The signal is static, baptised in fire
Now we see how they talk with
A mouth full of barbed wire
Absolute power, absolute power
Absolute power
Absolute power corrupts absolutely
Absolute power, absolute power
Absolute power absolute power corrupts
The truth drops like a bomb
The truth drops like a bomb the battle is on
The truth drops like a
Absolute power corrupts absolutely
