War by Other Means Lyrics

every voice you've silenced and every life you've taken
recollections from your distant past
the tortured and the dying from a legacy of hatred
are back to echo in your ears screams you thought for sure wouldn't last
because you can't kill an idea, I will not be ruled...
you can't kill and idea and we will not be ruled...

"disrupt misdirect isolate and neutralize"
like the Trudells who burned alive in '79
now those enemies of the hour are the focus of this moment
for as long as we are here every voice remains alive
because you can't kill an idea, I will not be ruled...
you can't kill and idea and we will not be ruled by fear

i pledge no allegiance to the flag of the undeniable mistakes of america
which due to plutocracy for which it stands
so many nations and their gods have become invisible
with liberty and justice reserved for a precious chosen few
let our allegiances remain with those betrayed by the façade
for the calm is an illusion
"the struggle is not over...it a**umes new forms"
for no matter what the face, no matter what the name,
it's still...war

the laws are silent in times of war
