Tema

Una aguda crítica geopolítica a la guerra moderna y al complejo militar-industrial. Las letras exponen la paradoja de las naciones que predican la paz mientras orquestan la muerte con fines de lucro, utilizando drones y armamento de alta tecnología para dominar tierras desérticas por petróleo y oro. Es una exploración clásica de Mustaine sobre la corrupción sistémica y la naturaleza desechable de la vida humana a los ojos de los poderosos.

Letra

[Guitar Solo] [Verse 1] Born to lose, trained to fight Hates the dark, defends the light Taught to pray, yet made to kill Life's a game, do as thou wilt [Refrain] Wave the flag Then torch the town Come in peace Then burn it down [Verse 2] Smoke and fire, choke the dawn Every trace of life is gone Hot sun, the desert war Blood for gold, and guns will roar Red skies, bombs fall Black smoke, a nation crawls Fight for crude and oil fields The mighty fall and the people kneel [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Drones above, in desert skies Truth is sold, in streaming lies Profits grow, while children die The people know that they won't survive [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Burning maps, foreign lands Kings all drink the blood-soaked sand Votes are cast in smoke and steel You say, "We the people, what's the deal?" [Refrain] Wave the flag Then torch the town Come in peace Then burn it down [Verse 4] Cold eyes, dead hands The greedy own the desert lands Rusty tanks, Saharan rain Fleeting hope, and "coming pain" Crack a smile, bite your tongue Play the fool or die too young Iron mist on golden dunes Freedom fades underneath the moons [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Drones above, in desert skies Truth is sold, in streaming lies Profits grow, while children die The people know that they won't survive
