Tema

Una canción impulsada por la **paranoia y el comentario político**, centrada en la idea de que el peligro (**'la amenaza es real'**) proviene de dentro del sistema. Critica las 'reuniones a puerta cerrada', los 'encubrimientos', el 'condicionamiento violento' y una **'cultura hecha de encubrimientos'**, sugiriendo que la falta de visión y un 'cáncer' de malicia profundamente arraigado están destruyendo la sociedad.

Letra

Justified obliteration, no one cares anymore The Messiah or mass murderer No controlling who comes through the door A culture made of cover ups Where leprosy touch their flesh Fall back with meetings and rendezvous The vultures have come home to nest The clock runs out, the weakest link A deadly strike, the threat is real! Seen the bird as images of A crest fallen nation sea Violence conditioning, cause the nature of the enemy Your terminal lack of vision Blinded, I see no lights A quiet lack of perspective Their cancer now eats us alive A fatal shot, a lust for blood The final act, the threat is real! Justified obliteration, no one cares anymore The Messiah or mass murderer No controlling who comes through the door A culture made of cover ups Where leprosy touch their flesh Fall back with meetings and rendezvous The vultures have come home to nest The clock runs out, the weakest link A deadly strike, the threat is real! A fatal shot, a lust for blood The final act, the threat is real!
